Python Library Dependencies

WaLSAtools relies on several Python libraries to deliver its functionality. These libraries are widely used in the scientific computing community and facilitate efficient data processing, visualization, and user interaction. The following Python libraries are used as core dependencies:

We are grateful to the developers of these libraries for their contributions to open-source software, which greatly enhance the capabilities of WaLSAtools. Please refer to the respective library documentation for licensing details and additional information.

IDL Libraries

WaLSAtools incorporates several third-party components from publicly available IDL libraries. Most are bundled within the package, requiring no separate installation. Only standard IDL routines (built-in or from the native IDL library of version 8.5 and above) are not included. IDL is a registered trademark of NV5 Geospatial Solutions, Inc.
