STRgrafHas

STRgrafHas is a software library designed for the analysis and visualization of stratigraphic data. It provides a collection of tools that assist geologists, paleontologists, and other earth scientists in interpreting sedimentary sequences and their temporal relationships. The library is primarily written in Python, leveraging its extensive capabilities for data manipulation and scientific computing.

The core functionality of STRgrafHas includes routines for parsing and processing stratigraphic columns, which are graphical representations of rock layers. It can handle data from various sources, including textual descriptions, numerical logs, and graphical files. The software facilitates the correlation of these stratigraphic sections across different locations, a fundamental task in geological mapping and basin analysis. This correlation is often based on lithological similarities, fossil content, or geophysical markers.

STRgrafHas also offers features for generating customizable stratigraphic diagrams. Users can define plotting parameters, such as the scale, color schemes, and the types of data to be displayed, allowing for the creation of clear and informative visual outputs. Furthermore, the library supports the integration of other geoscientific data, such as well logs or seismic data, within the stratigraphic context. Its open-source nature encourages community contributions and adaptations for specific research needs.
