Part of the Fatiando a Terra project
Boule is Python library for representing reference ellipsoids, calculating their gravity fields, and performing some global coordinate conversions. "Boule" is also French for "ball" as well as a traditional shape of bread resembling a squashed ball.
Some examples of where Boule can be applied:
Boule is ready for use but still changing. This means that we sometimes break backwards compatibility as we try to improve the software based on user experience, new ideas, better design decisions, etc. Please keep that in mind before you update Boule to a newer version.
We welcome feedback and ideas! This is a great time to bring new ideas on how we can improve the project. Join the conversation or submit issues on GitHub.
