Glossary#
- GCC#
- : The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Default compiler for most linux#
systems. The Windows port is MinGW See: http://gcc.gnu.org/
- FEniCS#
- : The FEniCSx computing platform. https://fenicsproject.org/#
- Gmsh#
- : Gmsh: a three-dimensional finite element mesh generator with built-in#
pre- and post-processing facilities [Geuzaine and Remacle, 2009] http://gmsh.info/. See:
pygimli.meshtools.mesh.readGmsh()- BERT#
- : Boundless electrical resistivity tomography http://www.resistivity.net/#
- IPython#
- : An improved Python shell that integrates nicely with#
- Matplotlib#
- : Matplotlib Python package displays publication quality results.#
It displays both 1D X-Y type plots and 2D contour plots for structured and unstructured data. It works on all common platforms and produces publication quality hard copies. http://matplotlib.org
- MinGW#
- : MinGW, a contraction of “Minimalist GNU for Windows”, is a minimalist#
development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications. See: http://www.mingw.org/
- MSYS#
- : MSYS, a contraction of “Minimal SYStem”, is a Bourne Shell command line#
interpreter system. Offered as an alternative to Microsoft’s cmd.exe, this provides a general purpose command line environment, which is particularly suited to use with MinGW, for porting of many Open Source applications to the MS-Windows platform. See: http://www.mingw.org/
- NumPy#
- : NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python. It#
is a Python library that provides a multidimensional array object and various functionalities related to it. https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/
- Paraview#
- : Is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization#
application. See: http://paraview.org/
- Python#
- : The programming language that pyGIMLi (and your scripts) are#
written in. See: https://www.python.org/
- Pylab#
- : Meta-package importing several core packages such as NumPy,#
SciPy, Matplotlib, etc. into a single namespace. This is usually not recommended due to possible name conflicts but provides a quick way to get MATLAB-like functionality.
- PyVista#
- : 3D visualization tool based on VTK: https://www.pyvista.org#
- SciPy#
- : Scientific Computing Tools for Python - Open-source library with many#
numerical routines but the term is often used as a synonym for the scientific python community, several conferences, and the SciPy Stack, i.e. a set of core packages. https://scipy.org/about.html
- Sphinx#
- : The tools used to generate the GIMLi documentation. See:#
- STL#
- : Unstructured triangulated surface file format native to the “stereolithography”#
CAD software created by 3D Systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)
- SuiteSparse#
- : SuiteSparse is a single archive that contains packages for solving#
large sparse problems using Sparse Cholesky factorization. http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html
- Triangle#
- : A Two-Dimensional Quality Mesh Generator and Delaunay Triangulator.#
