A CLI based eclectic set of geochemical data manipulation, QC and plotting tools.

Pygeochemtools is a python library and command line interface tool to enable rapid manipulation, filtering, QC and plotting
of geochemical data. It is primarily designed to allow people with limited or no coding experience to deal with
very large datasets when programs like Excel will struggle. It is designed to natively load and manipulate the geochemical datasets output by the Geological Survey of South Australia, but will easily handle other datasets with a little bit of configuration in later updates.

For more information checkout the pygeochemtools documentation.

Currently pygeochemtools provides the following functionality:

• Filter large datasets based on a list of elements, sample type or drillhole numbers (or a combination of all three) and convert from long to wide format.
• Add detailed geochemical methods columns onto the SARIG geochemical dataset.
• Extract single element datasets from large geochemical datasets.
• Plot maximum down hole geochemical data maps.
• Plot maximum down hole chemistry per interval geochemical data maps.

The project’s documentation contains a section to help you
get started as a user or
developer of the library.

If you’re going to be working in the code (rather than just using the library), you’ll want a few utilities.

• GNU Make
• Pandoc

Below are some handy resource links.

• Project Documentation
• Click is a Python package for creating beautiful command line interfaces in a composable way with as little code as necessary.
• Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Geog Brandl and licnsed under the BSD license.
• pytest helps you write better programs.
• GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program’s source files.
