Plot a stack of sediment layers as a cross section.

Create a plot of the elevation sediment layers, including surfaces for sea level and bedrock.

Parameters:

  • elevation_at_layer (array-like of shape (n_layers, n_stacks)) – Elevation to each layer along the profile. Layers are provided row-by-row, with the bottom-most layer being the first row.

  • x (array-like, optional) – Distance to each stack along the cross-section. If not provided, stack number will be used.

  • sea_level (float, optional) – Elevation of sea level.

  • color_water (tuple of float, optional) – Tuple of (red, green, blue) values for water.

  • color_bedrock (tuple of float, optional) – Tuple of (red, green, blue) values for bedrock.

  • color_layer (string, optional) – Colormap to use to color in the layers.

  • layer_line_width (float, optional) – Width of line used to plot layer surfaces.

  • layer_line_color (string, optional) – Color of the line used to plot layer surfaces.

  • title (string, optional) – Text to be used for the graph’s title. The default is to not include a title.

  • x_label (string, optional) – Text to be used for the x (horizontal) axis label.

  • y_label (string, optional) – Text to be used for the y (vertical) axis label.

  • legend_location (string, optional) – Where to put the legend.
