GeoPython is a project of using Python for geology related daily work. It is a set of free softwares: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

If you are using Windows 7, there might comes anapi-ms-win-crtrelated error. You needto install KB2999226 and then install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015. Of course, a sweet guy like me just packed them up and share here: 32 bit Windows7 ，64 bit WInodws7 .

For Windows Users, donwload the Windows version zip file and extrat the whole file into a folder, then just put your data in the correspoinding Xlsx file and double click the correspoinding main.exe and click on the function you need.

For OSX Users, Download the OSX version zip file and then extrat to get a App file. Got into the location of the Appand input your data into each files then double click the Appfile. The Svg and Png generated would also be saved at the same location of the App , same as the Data files. I would fix this in the former versions.

This module is written with Python3.4 and based on numpy, matplotlib and pandas. That means you need to install them.

You can install these packages with PIP:

pip install numpy
pip install matplotlib
pip install pandas
pip install xlrd

First, you need to install geopython using pip:

pip install geopython

Then open you python console, and enter to the location path of data files, which are the xlsx files that you still need to download from here. Then you can use geopython as the codes below:

ipython

import geopython as gp

gp.Tas("tas.xlsx").read()               # TAS diagram
gp.Ree("ree.xlsx").read()              # REE diagram
gp.Trace("trace.xlsx").read()              # Trace Elemenets spyder diagram
gp.Trace2("trace.xlsx").read()              # Trace Elements spyder diagram with a nother elements sequence
gp.Qfl("qfl.xlsx").read()              # QFL tectonic diagram
gp.Qmflt("qmflt.xlsx").read()              # Qmflt tectonic diagram
gp.QapfP("qapf.xlsx").read()              # Qapf diagram for Plutonic rocks
gp.QapfV("qapf.xlsx").read()              # Qapf diagram for Volcanic rocks
gp.Polar("strike.xlsx").read()              # Wulf and Schmidt net diagram of structure data

Remember that you need to import the module first and then you can use the functions in it. You need to put you data in a xlsx file in the same form as the example files.

If python told you that it cannot find a xlsx file, you must have entered to the wrong location, and you need to use the cd command to go to the path containing xlsx files that you downloaded and modiffed.

Then you only need to input the data from the file, and everything will be done.

If the data file is in the right form and nothing goes wrong, you will have three files, which will be in the same location of these xlsx files:

• a svg(Scalable Vector Graphics) file which can be modified directly in Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw X8;

• a png (Portable Network Graphics) .
