ASDF Sextant

Landing page for all things ASDF: https://seismic-data.org

This is Adaptable Seismic Data Format - if you are looking for the Advanced Scientific Data Format, go here: https://asdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This is an experimental graphical user interface intended to enable the interactive exploration of ASDF files. It can mostly deal with earthquake event data sets and is currently not really suited to explore large noise data sets, but we will add this capability in the near future.

Installation

Dependencies

The GUI has the following dependencies:

• Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6
• pyasdf
• PyQt 4
• pyqtgraph
• qdarkstyle
• pydot
• graphviz (Not a Python package)

As always: If you know what you are doing install the dependencies in any way that works for you. Otherwise, install the latest pyasdf version according to these instructions:

http://seismicdata.github.io/pyasdf/installation.html

and install the remaining dependencies with:

$ conda install pyqt==4.11.4 pyqtgraph pydotplus
$ pip install qdarkstyle

graphviz

You furthermore need graphviz to view the provenance graphs. It is available for all systems and installation should be simple. Examples are:
