LSDTopoTools python plotting functions

I am afraid this is a bit disorganised, since it has developed organically and we haven’t had time to clean everything up.

You should get our plotting and mapping tools from our github repositories. Here is the next irritation: if you are using a vagrant server, the tool git is installed on your Linux server. But we suggest you run python in your host operating system (e.g., Windows). Meaning you should install git on your host operating system.

Getting git

  • Linux: git is probably already on your system but if not you can install with any package manager (e.g., sudo apt-get install git).

  • Windows: Download and install git for Windows.

  • MacOS: Download and install git for MacOS.

Getting our plotting tools

  1. Make a directory to hold the plotting tools. I usually call the directory for git projects "Git_projects".

  2. In Windows, right click on this directory and select "Git bash here". For this to work you will have needed to have installed git for Windows first.

  3. In Linux or MacOS, open a terminal and go to this folder.

  4. Clone our plotting repositories from github (this grabs the files from github):

  5. Getting files from github. In MacOS and linux the prompt will be $, in powershell it will be PS>.

    $ git clone https://github.com/LSDtopotools/LSDMappingTools.git
$ git clone https://github.com/LSDtopotools/LSDAutomation.git
$ git clone https://github.com/LSDtopotools/LSDPlotting.git

  6. You should have all the python files you need now.
