3-D maps

Interactive survey mapping with pycsamt.map — from a flat station map to fully three-dimensional fence diagrams, resistivity blocks, and topography-draped volumes. Every figure below is a live Plotly scene: rotate, zoom, and hover directly in the page.

The gallery builds from simple to complex:

• Station maps — plan-view station locations coloured by index, apparent resistivity, or phase, with contours, labels, and themes;

• Profiles and pseudo-sections — per-line resistivity/phase sections;

• 3-D fence diagrams — each survey line as a hanging cross-section in a shared 3-D scene;

• 3-D blocks, depth slices, and surfaces — the interpolated resistivity volume rendered four different ways;

• Topography — draping the survey and its sections over real elevation;

• Advanced compositions — custom volume options, multiple quantities, and viewpoint control.

All examples use the bundled WILLY_DATA AMT survey (data/AMT/WILLY_DATA/ — 5 lines, 128 stations). The high-level MapView façade loads the survey once and produces every view; see the Map tools guide for the full API.

Note

Rendering these examples requires plotly and kaleido (pip install plotly kaleido). The maps are also available as a live Dash workbench — see pycsamt.map.launch_mapview().
