Tools¶
Tools included with the TauP package:
calculates travel times. |
|
calculates pierce points at model discontinuities and specified depths. |
|
calculates ray paths, depth versus epicentral distance. |
|
calculates all possible phases in a model with number of interactions. |
|
calculates wavefronts in steps of time, depth versus epicentral distance. |
|
calculates travel time curves, time versus epicentral distance. |
|
textual description of the path the phase takes through the model. |
|
outputs travel times for a range of depths and distances in an ASCII file |
|
puts theoretical arrival times into extra headers. |
|
puts theoretical arrival times into sac header variables. |
|
merges part of one velocity model into another. |
|
output velocity model as a gmt script. |
|
creates a .taup model from a velocity model. |
|
create spike seismogram. |
|
plot reflection and transmission coefficients for a discontinuity. |
|
http access to the tools |
|
print the version. |
|
display help information about the specified command. |
Startup Script¶
Each tool is a subcommand of the overall taup Java application which is
an wrapper to make execution easier: sh scripts
for Unix and
bat files for windows. The application are machine independent but the
wrappers are OS specific.
For example, to invoke TauP Time under Unix, you could type
java -classpath ... edu.sc.seis.TauP.TauP time -mod prem
or simply use the script that does the same thing,
taup time -mod prem
Each tool has a --help flag that will print a usage summary, as well
as a --version flag that will print the version.
Tab Completion¶
New with version 3.0 is tab completion for bash and zsh. Sourcing the output of
taup generate-completion will provide hints
for the shell when hitting the tab key for bash or zsh. You can enable it
with running this command:
source <(taup generate-completion)
Adding this to your .bash_profile or .zshrc will enable it for future logins.
Note, for bash 3.2, which the default verion on OSX, there is a bug that prevents this from working. The alterantive is to save it as a file like:
taup generate-completion > taup_completion
and then source the file:
source taup_completion
Once sourced, you will be able to get hints or completion for most arguments within TauP. For example typing:
taup time -
and then hitting the tab key will display all of the possible command line flags. Continuing to type
taup time --mod
and then hitting the tab key will display the models available for the
--mod command line argument:
