Step-by-Step Summary

  1. Access the Utilities program tab.
  2. Create a new datasheet and enter/import your lineation bearings 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\Rose_Diagram_from_Bearings_01.rwDat".)
  3. Select the Utilities | Linears | Rose Diagram | From Bearings menu option.
  4. Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
  5. Click the Process button to proceed.

The program will generate a rose diagram that depicts the orientations of the linear features based on the input data and plotting parameters.  The diagram will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window.

  1. You can adjust any of the options along the left and click the Process button to regenerate the diagram.
    !
    Each time you click the Process button, the existing display will be replaced.
