Stereonets for matplotlib

mplstereonet provides lower-hemisphere equal-area stereonets for matplotlib.

Basic Usage

In most cases, you’ll want to import mplstereonet and then make an axes with projection="stereonet".

As an example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mplstereonet

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='stereonet')

ax.plane(315, 35)

plt.show()

Planes, lines, poles, and rakes can be plotted using axes methods (e.g. ax.line(plunge, bearing) or ax.rake(strike, dip, rake_angle)).

All planar measurements are expected to follow the right-hand-rule to indicate dip direction. As an example, 315/30S would be 135/30 follwing the right-hand rule.
