"Geoscience library creation tool QGIS plug-in" is a QGIS plug-in for creating a map for Web geoscience library using QGIS of open software GIS software.
This plug-in started to develop for QGIS 2.12 in 2017, and is now developing the version for QGIS 3.0. When the test is complete, publish the download link below.

You can use the menu or toolbar to do the following:
Create Scenario map

In order to create a geological map, geological boundaries must be drawn using geological topography.
The "Geolib3" plug-in has a function to automatically draw the strike line calculated using the measured strike/dip or 3-point method (use "Draw Strike Line" menu).
Export to "Web Geoscience Library" site
Created scenario maps and subject maps can be exported as a data file processed into a format that can be displayed in the "Web Geoscience Library".
