geosoft.gxpy.view

Views, which can be 2D or 3D, contain groups of graphical elements that can be displayed to a user in a Geosoft Map viewer or a Geosoft 3D viewer. Geosoft maps can contain any number of 2D or 3D views.

Views contain one or more geosoft.gxpy.group.Group instances. 2D views can contain 2D groups, while 3D views can contain both 2D and 3D groups.

Classes:

View:

single 2D plane view

View_3d:

3D view in a geosoft.3dv file, or a 3D view on a 2D map.

CrookedPath:

defines the path for a crooked section.

Both 2D and 3D views can be placed on a geosoft.gxpy.map.Map, though 3D views are stored in a geosoft_3dv file which can also be viewed separately from a map.
