pygmt.datasets.load_fractures_compilation

pygmt.datasets.load_fractures_compilation()

Load a table of fracture lengths and azimuths as hypothetically digitized from geological maps as a pandas.DataFrame.

This is the @fractures_06.txt dataset used in the GMT tutorials.

The data are downloaded to a cache directory (usually ~/.gmt/cache) the first time you invoke this function. Afterwards, it will load the data from the cache. So you’ll need an internet connection the first time around.

Returns

data (pandas.DataFrame) – The data table. Use print(data.describe()) to see the available columns.
