Home Page PmagPy is a software package written by Lisa Tauxe for handling paleomagnetic data, including the MagICPy scripts to help import paleomagnetic data into the MagIC database. It is written in Python and requires installation of matplotlib, numpy modules (several programs also require scipy). For instructions on a proper installation of Python for Mac OS 10.4 and Windows operating systems, see here. Knowledge of Python is not required to use the software, but would be useful for customizing the programs for your own use. There are numerous web sites with tutorials and detailed information about Python, but for a quickie introduction to python programming in paleomagnetism, see here. For examples on how to use the programs, see here. PmagPy is provided as freeware. |
