Note: Locate the starting points of line segements determined by an input gap distance. The returned indices indicate where to break the line, given an input gap. The number of returned indices is one less than the number of line segments. (So if there are no gaps the returned GXVV has zero length).

classmethod find_string_items(vv_source, vv_search, pis_source_sorted, pis_search_sorted, pis_case_tolerant, vv_i)¶

Searches a GXVV for items in a second GXVV, returns indices of those found.

vv_source (GXVV) – String GXVV in which to locate items
vv_search (GXVV) – String GXVV Items to search for
pis_source_sorted (int) – Is the first GXVV already sorted?
pis_search_sorted (int) – Is the second GXVV already sorted
pis_case_tolerant (int) – Case tolerance for string comparisons
vv_i (GXVV) – GS_LONG GXVV of returned indices into the first GXLST.

New in version 7.3.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: This is a much more efficient way of determining if items in one GXVV are found in a second, than by searching repeatedly in a loop. The returned GS_LONG GXVV contains the same number of items as the “search items” GXVV, and contains -1 for items where the value is not found, and the index of items that are found. Comparisons are case-tolerant. Non-string VVs are converted to string type VVs (element size 24) internally.

The method requires that the GXVV items be sorted, and will do so internally. Since the input VVs may already be sorted, the method will run faster if this stage can be skipped.

classmethod fractal_filter(vv_i, order, number, vv_o)¶

Note: Edge behaviour: Dummies at the ends are treated as follows for various combinations of the inside and outside interpolation choices:

if ((iOutside==VV_INTERP_EDGE_NEAREST) ||
    (iOutside==VV_INTERP_EDGE_SAME && iInside==VV_INTERP_NEAREST))

     // -- Set dummies to the same value as the last defined element

else if ((iOutside==VV_INTERP_EDGE_LINEAR) ||
         (iOutside==VV_INTERP_EDGE_SAME &&  iInside==VV_INTERP_LINEAR))

     // --- Set dummies using the slope of the last two defined elements

endif

In all other cases and combinations of the two interpolation choices, the dummies are left “as is”.

num (int) – Number of data points in the line segment. Must be > 0

New in version 6.3.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: This function checks vertical deviation of data in an input GXVV against a moving straight line, where the X-axis value is taken to be the data index, and the Y-axis value is the input data GXVV value. The straight line is drawn between data points at the ends of the line segment, whose length is an input.

New in version 5.0.7.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: Often on maps plotted symbols and text overlap each other. This routine accepts of GXVV of locations and returns a new set of locations offset from the originals, and guaranteed not to overlap, given the size of the original symbols. The returned offset X, Y locations are offset from the original locations by the minimum of a) the input offset, b) the input symbol radius. This is to ensure that the original location is never covered by the offset symbol.

Care should be taken when choosing the symbol size, because if the point density is too high, all the points will get pushed to the outside edge and your plot will look like a hedgehog (it also takes a lot longer!).

classmethod offset_correct(vv_xi, vv_yi, dist, heading, v_vxo, v_vyo)¶

Correct locations based on heading and fixed offset.

Parameters:	vv_xi (GXVV) – Input X vv_yi (GXVV) – Input Y dist (float) – Offset distance heading (int) – VVU_OFFSET constants v_vxo (GXVV) – Output X v_vyo (GXVV) – Output Y

New in version 5.0.8.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: In many applications, measurements are taken with an instrument which is towed behind, or pushed ahead of where the locations are recorded. Use this function to estimate the actual location of the instrument. The method determines the heading along the line, using a “thinned” version of the line. The degree of thinning is based on the size of the offset; the larger the offset, the greater the distance between sample locations used to construct the thinned lined used for determining headings. The thinned line is splined at a frequency greater than the sample frequency, and the heading at any given point is determined from the vector formed by the closest two points on the splined line. The correction (behind, in front, left or right) is determined with respect to the heading, and added to the original location.

IF this method fails, no dummies, no duplicated locations, no reversals are produced.

The algorithm:

Determine average distance between each point = D

Smoothing interval = MAX(2*D, Offset distance) = I

Thin input points to be at least the smoothing interval I apart from each other.

Smoothly re-interpolate the thinned points at five times the original average distance D.

For each input point, calculate the bearing using the nearest points on the smoothed curve

The correction (behind, in front, left or right) is determined with respect to the heading, and added to the original location.

IF this method fails, no dummies, no duplicated locations, no reversals are produced.

The algorithm:

Determine average distance between each point = D

Default smoothing interval = MAX(2*D, Offset distance) = I

Thin input points to be at least the smoothing interval I apart from each other.

Smoothly re-interpolate the thinned points at five times the original average distance D.

For each input point, calculate the bearing using the nearest points on the smoothed curve

classmethod offset_rectangles(vv_xi, vv_yi, offset, size_x, size_y, vv_xo, vv_yo)¶

Get non-overlapping offset location for rectangular symbols.

Parameters:	vv_xi (GXVV) – Input X locations vv_yi (GXVV) – Input Y locations offset (float) – Minimum offset distance size_x (float) – Symbol X size (width) size_y (float) – Symbol Y size (height) vv_xo (GXVV) – Output (offset) X locations vv_yo (GXVV) – Output (offset) Y locations

New in version 5.0.7.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: Often on maps plotted symbols and text overlap each other. This routine accepts of GXVV of locations and returns a new set of locations offset from the originals, and guaranteed not to overlap, given the size of the original symbols. The returned offset X, Y locations are offset from the original locations by the minimum of a) the input offset, b) the input symbol X or Y size. This is to ensure that the original location is never covered by the offset symbol. In addition, the offset symbol is never place directly below the original location, to make it easier to draw a connecting line.

Care should be taken when choosing the symbol size, because if the point density is too high, all the points will get pushed to the outside edge and your plot will look like a hedgehog (it also takes a lot longer!).

classmethod rolling_stats(vv_i, vv_o, stat, window, shrink)¶

New in version 5.1.

License: Geosoft End-User License

Note: If the input VVs are not REAL, copies are made to temporary REALs for processing.

If the window size is even, it is increased by 1 so that the output value is put at the exact center index of the window.

Statistics are calculated on the values in a window surrounding the individual data points.

By shrinking the window at the ends, one-sided effects can be eliminated. For instance, if the data is linear to begin with, a rolling mean will not alter the original data. However, if the window size is kept constant, then values near the ends tend to be pulled up or down.

With shrinking, the window is shrunk so that it always has the same width on both sides of the data point under analysis; at the end points the window width is 1, at the next point in it is 3, and so on, until the full width is reached.

The median value is calculated by sorting the valid data in the window, then selecting the middle value. If the number of valid data points is even, then the average of the two central values is returned.

The mode value is defined as the value which occurs most frequently in the data. This value may not even exist, or may not be unique. In this implementation, the following algorithm is used: The valid data in the window is sorted in ascending order. The number of occurrences of each data value is tracked, and if it occurs more times than any value, it becomes the modal value. If all values are different, this procedure returns the smallest value. If two or more values each have the same (maximum) number of occurrences, then the smallest of these values is returned.
