PyOceanMaps

This package plots the ocean floor bathymetry. The package is based on python's basemap (see requirements). There's a lot that could still be done so feel free to fork and contribute. There's a to do list for the master branch (version 1.0) at the bottom of this file.

Requirements

• ETOPO1 file 377MB
• Python 2.6 or 2.7
• Matplotlib
• Basemap (mpl_toolkits)

Package Contents

• this readme
• bath_map
• bath_section
• haversine

To Do

1. haversine: add options where input can be n,2 and more - see the top of the file for full list
2. bath_map: make it more pythonic and create standalone function plotting the bathymetry
3. bath_section: same as bath map abd improve ouput
4. general: make tests that the functions need to pass to check for simple bugs
