SG2PS (structural geology to postscript converter) - A graphical solution for brittle structural data evaluation and paleostress calculation

摘要: The aim of this work was to create an open source cross platform application process brittle structural geological data with seven paleostress inversion algorithms published by different authors and formerly not available within a single desktop application. tool facilitates separate processing plotting localities, types user made groups, using the same input file. Simplified is supported, requiring as small amount possible. Data rotation correct for bedding tilting, paleomagnetic declination k-means clustering are available. RUP ANG stress estimators calculation visualization, resolved shear direction display Mohr circle visualization RGB-colored vector graphical outputs automatically generated in Encapsulated PostScript Portable Document Format. Stereographical displays on great or pole point plot, equal area angle net upper lower hemisphere projections implemented. Rose plots displaying dip strike, distribution set This ideal preliminary interpretation field (quick seconds); implemented methods can be regularly used daily academic industrial well.The authors' goal self-contained that does require any additional third party framework (such .NET) Java Virtual Machine. software has clear highly modular structure enabling good code portability, easy maintainability, reusability extensibility. A Windows installer publicly program also fully functional Linux. Mac OS X port should feasible minimal effort. install file test demo sets, detailed manual, links GitHub repositories updated website www.sg2ps.eu. User friendly, use developed data.Various application.Simplified option, automatic tilting were implemented.The portability maintainability.The self-contained: installed even USB stick.
