A utility for plotting SEG-Y files.

If you don't already have a reliable Python installation, and know how to wield it, I recommend downloading and installing Anaconda.

Get this repo with git or by downloading the ZIP file, and enter that directory.

Make and enter a virtual environment:

conda create -n seisplot --file package-list.txt
source activate seisplot

Install one more dependency:

conda install -c obspy obspy

Edit config.yaml to meet your requirements.

Run the script from the command line, for example:

python seisplot.py </path/to/infile.sgy>

This will use config.yaml make a PNG file in the same location, and with the same basic filename. To use a specific config file with another name or location, and to specify the output filetype — use PDF or SVG for fully scalable vector graphics instead of a raster — add the --out part:

python seisplot.py </path/to/infile.segy> --config config.yaml --out /path/to/result.pdf

You can specify a directory and seisplot will find files like *.sgy, *.SGY, *.segy, and *.SEGY in that directory. If you add the recursive flag, -R to the command line, seisplot will descend into subdirectories looking for SEG-Y files.

With --out you can specify an output file and seisplot will honour the filetype if the matplotlib backend you are using supports it. If you specify a directory, all the outout files will go there, using the SEG-Y file's name as the main part of the filename (for example, 31-08.sgy will give you 31-08.png in the output directory.

As in all things, stains are optional.
