Add option to report the metrics for the target and analog volcanoes

[maxrjones]

This feature request is to allow the user to query the variable values for each category for the target and/or analog volcanoes in addition to the analogy metrics. For example, a flag that would report Ts: 0.1250; Ip - Oceanic crust etc. for Kilauea).

Dear @meghanrjones,

I sincerely hope that this message finds you well.

I just wanted to let you know that we have preliminarily addressed Issue #16 in a new branch called volcano-id-profile.

We still need to add a few improvements before we merge the branch into main but please feel free to explore the new functionalities of the code and let us know if they appear to be satisfactory as regards your request.

We will aim at completing the merge by 15th November 2021.

Very many thanks in advance,
Pablo

To pretty print a dictionary:

import json

my_volcano = {'name': 'Hekla', 'other_attribute': 1}
print(json.dumps(my_volcano, indent=2, sort_keys=False))

sort_keys will keep them in the order that they were entered.

Dear @meghanrjones,

I hope this message finds you well.

First of all, please let us thank you for your review of our PyVOLCANS manuscript and for the very useful suggestions, including raising this issue, which have helped us to significantly improve the software.

Regarding the current issue, please see the changes in the now merged volcano-id-profile branch (#17).

In the current version of the manuscript, running pyvolcans Kilauea -v should provide not only the Top 10 analogues to Kīlauea (using a default, equal-weighting scheme) but also the ID profile for the target volcano, as stored in data from GVP 4.6.7 and the merged volcano morphology database used in Tierz et al. (2019).

Finally, running pyvolcans Kilauea -v --output_volcano_data should additionally save a .json file containing Kīlauea's ID profile, and running pyvolcans Kilauea -v --output_analogues_data should save a different .json file containing the ID profile for all the Top 10 analogues to Kīlauea, the latter considering the default, equal-weighting scheme used.

We sincerely hope that these changes will satisfy your request. If this is the case, please feel free to close the issue yourself, or let me know that the changes look appropriate, so I can close the issue.

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Best regards,
Pablo
