|
| Rose diagrams with uni- or bi-directional data distribution |
- 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 distinguish different types of features (e.g. slickensided fractures vs. quartz veins)

| 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)
