*********************************
Section operations
*********************************

The package makes available models for vertical sections of deposits and strata.

All classes inherit from :obj:`BaseSection`, and redefine methods and attributes for their own types.

The classes are defined in ``sandplover.section``.

.. hint::

  There is a complete :doc:`Sections Subject Guide </guides/subject_guides/mobility>` about the organization of this area of sandplover and examples for how to use and compute `Section` metrics.
