Module description:

Gravity modeling (2-D)

In combinations with GRAPHIC, IMAGE, and GUI, The tool creates displays allowing interactiev editing of density models and fitting gravity anomaly observations.

The tool is actually a copy of tool RAYINVR with parameter lists limited to handling only density parameters. Anything performed by this module can also be done by RAYINVR. Note that in this preliminary version, the interactive displays will actually allw displaying and editing velocity and Q parameters.

2-D bodies of constant densities are described by closed countours within the subsurface. The bodies can overlap, in which case the density anomalies in the overlapping regions are also superimposed.
