Computing Lineation Bearing, Length, and/or Midpoint

RockWorks | Utilities | Linears | Lineation Properties

This program is used to compute the bearing, length, and/or midpoint of lineations listed in the main datasheet as X1 Y1 X2 Y2 line endpoint coordinates. The computed values are stored in separate columns in the main datasheet.

Step-by-Step Summary

  1. Access the RockWorks Utilities program tab.
  2. Create a new datasheet and enter/import your line endpoint data (X1Y1X2Y2) into the datasheet.
    Or, open one of the sample files and replace that data with your own. (In the Samples folder, an example file = "\RockWorks17 Data\ Samples\Lineation_Properties_01.rwDat".)
  3. Select the Utilities | Linears | Lineation Properties menu option. 
  4. Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
  5. Click the Process button to continue. 

The program will compute the lineation bearings (from 0 clockwise to 360 degrees), and/or the lengths (in your X and Y coordinate unites), and/or the midpoints for all of the lines in the data sheet, and it will store these computations in the selected column(s) in the datasheet.
