gemgis.visualization.calculate_vector

gemgis.visualization.calculate_vector(dip: Union[float, int], azimuth: Union[float, int]) → numpy.ndarray

Calculating the plunge vector of a borehole section

Parameters

• dip (Union[float, int]) – Dipping value of a borehole segment, e.g. dip=90

• azimuth (Union[float, int]) – Dipping direction of a borehole segment, e.g. azimuth=20

Returns

vector – Plunging/dipping vector of a borehole segment

Return type

np.ndarray

New in version 1.0.x.

Example

>>> # Loading Libraries and define dip and azimuth
>>> import gemgis as gg
>>> dip = 90
>>> azimuth = 20

>>> # Calculating plunging vector
>>> vector = gg.visualization.calculate_vector(dip=dip, azimuth=azimuth)
>>> vector

[-0.18285081],
[ 0.91294525]])
