Below is a short tutorial:
How can I plot apparent dip data using this software
You may need to convert your data to apparent dip first
How do you plot lineation data? I input trend and plunge data, noted Tag as “L”, but no rose diagram appears. Software needs a Help feature, it is not intuitive.
You need to set the dip direction and dip to plot lineation data.
please provide update
Is there a way to input data only by strike/dip applying the Right Hand Rule?
Does the strike full circle work for you?
Excellent program, but is possible to load an ascii file instead of copying ?
Thank you
Will consider this option.
You can paste ONLY strikes for version 0.5.1
Hi,
A very useful little program for mapping, thank you. Have you considered adding the ability to select a row or rows and have those readings highlighted in the stereonet?
Regards,
Steve
Great idea. Will implement it.
hello,
I have to plot a linear or 1 dimensional data i.e. the orientation of fractures or the trend of fractures, so I don’t have the values of dip
. I only have the value of trend. I wanted to delte the dip direction option but I couldn’t.
Can you help me out
You should be able to plot only the Strike or only the Dip Direction.
Hello how do i actually plot the Stereonet? my reading is 175 strike and 50 dip
Please use dip direction and dip.
Thank you very much. This software is very easy to use. The function I like most is direct draw the data on circle while I am importing data. So I can check the data correct or not. Thank you
very useful
how to input customized py curve?
you can input piecewise function or you can write a JavaScript function as shown @ http://www.yongtechnology.com/2015/07/20/custom-p-y-curve-example-in-pypile
The software is so wonderful
Please, how do I save my plotted data to Microsoft words?
Thank you
You can save the plot as an image file and insert it into Word.
Thank you for making your software free. God bless you
Good software and useful for us(geologist).
Can you assist or probably recommend a software that I can use to generate lineament map . Kind regards
Probably you can use some GIS program to get what you want.
thanks YONG ! for your georose free , i will go test it
Highly commendable, thanks for giving it free. However, Am stuggling with the file format to allow me have rose diagram saved.
Many thanks for this, very useful!
May I suggest an option to suppress the gridlines to the background?
(they currently are in front of the depicted data)
Good idea. Will update in the next version.
Very nice software! It even automatically convert my data t suit the plotting needs.
Thanks a lot!
How do you plot unidirectional data, such as younging directions on GeoRose?
what does strike mean?
Is not a valid Win32 application error. on running. Would do well to indicate what versions of Windows this isn’t suitable for rather than just list “Windows”
It should run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
Brilliant, easy to use FREE software for creating simple rose diagrams that look great.
Well done!
is it possible to get the data plotted as a percentage instead of a number?
Thanks!
I will add this function to it.
Hello
Is this program compatible with Mac? I just get an error message saying no application can open the file
The Mac version is not released yet.
Please take a look the newly released version for Mac.
The software was very easy to understand and intuitive to use – thank you!
I would like to recommend it to my students and colleagues 🙂
It awesome!!! thank yong..this software help me a lot..May God bless u!!
Amazing Software. Does the job quite easily.
Excellent!!!!
how do i use it. i mean guide to use on how to enter and visualize my data
Joshua,
If you install GeoRose properly, open it and type your data in or copy your data from spreadsheet and paste it to the left side table. The diagram should show up once there is data feeding.
You can switch drawing modes by clicking the three buttons above the drawing canvas.
To change the appearance of the diagram, you will have to configure it by using configure dialog, which can be found in configure menu.
Hello how can I get the software please
Just download it from the download link.
