Orient

Orient is for plotting and analyzing orientation data - data that can be described by an axis or a direction in space or, equivalently, by a position on a sphere or circle. Examples of data that are represented by unit vectors (vectorial or directed data) or axes (axial or undirected data) include: geologic bedding planes, faults and fault slip directions, fold axes, paleomagnetic vectors, glacial striations, wind and current flow directions, optical axes in quartz and ice crystals, earthquake epicenters, arrival directions of cosmic rays, normals to comet orbital planes, and positions of galaxies.

The data may be input as spherical coordinates, longitude and latitude, azimuth and altitude, declination and inclination, trend and plunge, strike and dip, or other measurements. Orient plots and contours spherical projections, including equal area and stereographic projections, creates circular histograms, calculates spherical statistics, plots fault slip data, and does spacial analysis of orientation data.

Data can be entered using a spreadsheet style interface, or can be imported using tab delimited spreadsheet files (TSV or TXT), or other format text files. Graphs can be exported as bitmap images in various formats, or as PDF, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), and DXF vector graphics files which can be imported into graphics editing programs.

A fully functional version of Orient can be downloaded and used on a trial basis for 30 days before deciding to purchase. To purchase now, enter the DocVSoft Kagi Store, or see the documentation and license for additional information.
