Creating a New RockPlot2D Window

A new RockPlot2D window is typically created automatically any time that a 2-dimensional map or diagram is created within RockWorks. The RockPlot2D plot window is displayed as a tab embedded in the program Options window; it can also be displayed in a stand-alone window.

As described in Opening RockPlot2D Images, the easiest way to open an existing "Rw2D" file is using the Project Manager.

Another option is to open a new (blank) RockPlot2D window, then open the existing RockPlot file, or import an outside file, into the display.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. If you need to open a new, blank RockPlot2D window, click the Plot2D button at the top of the main program window.
   

   You will see a new, stand-alone RockPlot2D window displayed. The window will be initialized to the project space defined in your Output Dimensions.

2. Follow the instructions about Opening Existing RockPlot2D Files, or Importing Files.
