Rose diagrams, or circular histograms are useful for displaying
discontiniuity orientation data typically
gathered from geologic field studies. Discontiniuities include
fractures of all types, faults, bedding planes, etc.
This particular program sorts
uni-directional data such as the dip/dip direction of
bedding planes. Bi-directional data, such as
strike/dip, is not yet implemented.
Why was this written? |
At the time, the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) packages did
not have the type of diagram necessary for displaying
certain types of orientation data. Commercial packages
were too expensive.

Using Rose... |
Rose is invoked via command line options. Read the source
for canonical description.
|
Obtaining Rose... |
The program is currently distributed as c source code.
There should be little trouble compiling on most unix
platforms under gcc, including linux. There is a
possibility that the program may get packaged for the
debian linux system. Others are welcome
to try and compile for NT, Mac, Be, whatever.
