I propose a fast method for constructing pseudosections of apparent resistivity from geoelectrical data collected for deep studies with continuous polar dipole-dipole arrays. Once a vertical section is fixed, each value of apparent resistivity is assigned to a point on the section and finally pseudosections are obtained by interpolation. This allows the geophysicist to represent a large amount of data in a fast and simple way, to perform a qualitative interpretation and to facilitate the quantitative interpretation
