pybacktrack.read_lithologies_files

pybacktrack.read_lithologies_files(lithologies_filenames)

Reads each lithologies text file in the sequence and merges their lithologies.

Parameters:

lithologies_filenames (sequence of str) – Filenames of the lithologies text files.

Returns:

Dictionary mapping lithology names to pybacktrack.Lithology objects.

Return type:

dict

Notes

The four parameter columns in each lithologies text file should contain:

1. name

2. density

3. surface_porosity

4. porosity_decay

The order of filenames is important. If a lithology name exists in multiple files but has different definitions (values for density, surface porosity and porosity decay) then the definition in the last file containing the lithology name is used.

Added in version 1.2.
