Intern:PanCordes

PanCordes is a tool to write a simplified description of sediment cores in tab-delimited text files. Text files will be archived in the information system PANGAEA or used for visualization in PanPlot (future version). The description is stored in various parameters in the text file, after it has been filled into the fields of the user interface. To prevent the user from storing incomplete entries, some functions and input fields do only become available after sufficient data has been supplied. PanCoredes only allows the input of text information and no individual drawings.

The output file is formatted in accordance with the standards of the Pangaea information system, allowing the curator to directly upload the data. This standardized way of data input ensures that data is added to the system in consistent form. Furthermore, the use of tabulators as separators in the output file allows the data easily to be read in programs like Microsoft Excel. PanCordes also allows existing output files to be loaded, in order to re-edit, review or add data.
