What is APSG?

APSG is the package for structural geologists. It defines several new python classes to easily manage, analyze and visualize orientational structural geology data.

Major changes in class names and API from version 1.0.0

APSG has been significantly refactored from version 1.0 and several changes are breaking backward compatibility. The main APSG namespace provides often-used classes in lowercase names as aliases to PascalCase convention used in modules to provide a simplified interface for users. The PascalCase names of classes use longer and plain English names instead acronyms for better readability.

Check documentation for more details.
