Tutorial: Plot and Manipulate 2D Maps and Diagrams - RockPlot2D

RockPlot2D is the plotting program for "flat" RockWorks diagrams, such as plan-view maps, 2D cross sections, and miscellaneous diagrams (ternary plots, etc.). Whenever a diagram like this is created, it will be plotted automatically in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window.  RockPlot2D can also be displayed as a stand alone window (not embedded in the Options window).

RockPlot contains many display, printing, and manipulation features. Choose a lesson by clicking on the link or icon "".

If this is the first lesson set you’ve done, please be sure you’ve (1) opened a project folder, and (2) restored the program defaults.

Annotate the map. 

Measure distances on the map. 

Edit the map. 

Export the map and insert it into a document.
