Nevertheless, simple and efficient high-level functions to help those kinds of jobs are barely available, and has to be developed, again and again, by each student, engineer for each new project, and even by senior scientists.


On another hand, Python became little by little within the last decade a well-used programming language in the academic world. Despite the fact that countless toolboxes already exist in Python for scientific purposes, none really exists for geodetic-oriented purposes.


The geodeZYX toolbox aims to fill this gap. The objective of this toolbox, written in Python 3, is to provide a simple but useful and efficient set of functions to help geodesists and geophysicists to spend less time on the pre-processing steps and focus faster on their research, according to the KISS Principle.


A static version of the geodeZYX toolbox is available via the "Files" section on this DOI Landing Page and via github (https://github.com/GeodeZYX/GeodeZYX-Toolbox_v4).
