**geogst** is a Python 3 module library for structural geology geodata processing. 

It allows to perform geological operations, such as determining the intersections
between a geological plane and a topographic surface, creating multiple parallel
geological profiles with attitudes, geological outcrop and line intersections.

**Plane-DEM intersections**

**Geological profiles**

Moreover, it allows to perform geometric operations on orientation data (planes, axes) and to
plot the attitudes of geological plane and axes in stereonets.

## Installation

You should have *python-setuptools* already installed, otherwise you can install it via apt or pip3, e.g.:

Linux:

```sh
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
```

To install *geogst*, from the shell (you should be in the geogst directory) you can run:
```
python3 setup.py install
```
You can then check if the module was successfully installed in Python3 by importing the module via:
```python
import geogst
```

## Usage example

**Orientations**

Orientations can refer to linear or planar features. When referring to linear orientations, we subdivide them into directional, with a defined direction, or axial, without direction. 
We import all classes/methods from the orientations sub-module:

```python
from geogst.core.orientations.orientations import *
```
A Direct is equivalent to a unit vector in the 3D space, with orientation expressed by polar coordinates: a direction defined by a trend (from the North, 0°-360°) and a plunge (-90° to 90°, where positive values are downward-directed while negative ones are upward-directed):

```python
or1 = Direct(130, 10)  # orientation defined by its trend and plunge. Pointing downward, since positive plunge.
or2 = Direct(312, -45)  # or2 points upwards, since it has a negative plunge
or3 = Direct(300, -20)  # as or2
```

We can plot using the *plot* function. The data to plot have to be inserted into a list.

```python
plot([or1, or2, or3]) # we provide the function arguments in a list
```

**P-T focal mechanisms**

Creation of a P-T axes instance from a FaultSlick instance:

```python
ptbx_from_fltsl = PTBAxes.from_fault_slickenline(Fault(90, 45, slickenlines=[Slickenline(90, 45)]))
print(ptbx_from_fltsl)

PTBAxes(P Axis(az: 180.00°, pl: 90.00°), T Axis(az: 90.00°, pl: 0.00°))
```
