RockWorks structural geology tools: stereonets, rose
diagrams, lineation maps and more.
2D lineation analysis
Rose diagrams
- Rose diagrams explain frequency of lineations in a given
orientation (right)
- Create full or half (northern 180-degrees) rose diagrams
(below left)
- Created diagrams from azimuth bearing or line endpoint data.
- Assign custom petal widths (below right)

Uni or bi-directional data
- Data (e.g. paleocurrents & fractures) may be rotated
and/or filtered (by length and/or direction).
- Optional statistical legend and mean ray and error, and easy
modification of title, reference rays and circles
|
| |
Lineation maps
- Plot linear features on a map based on endpoint coordinates.
- Lineations may be color and/or line-style coded to show
distinguish different types of features (e.g. slickensided
fractures vs. quartz veins).

Lineation gridding
- 2-D and 3-D contour maps of lineation frequencies, lengths,
intersections, or a weighted combination thereof
|
| |
Arrow maps
- Depict the orientation of unidirectional features (e.g.
paleocurrents).
- Arrow colors and line styles different types of features (e.g
trilobite tracks vs. ammonite tracks).

3D planar analysis

Stereonets created from strike and dip (or
dip-direction, dip-angle) data; plot linear, planar, or rake
features. |

Planar data plotted as great circles or pole
(normal) |

Stereonets can employ unique symbols for
each sample or groups of samples |
| |
Stereonet statistical calculations include
mean lineation orientation, eigenvalues, and spherical
variance |

Contoured stereonets illustrate point
density calculated by either a simple step function or the spherical
Gaussian Technique |
