Windows 32-Bit Platform Software for Plots to Display the Finite Strain Data

Software for preparing plots to display the finite strain data such as (i) Flinn diagram (a against b), (ii) Ramsay's Diagram (a"1 against b"1), (iii) Logarithmic Flinn diagram (In a against In b or £,- £₂ against £₂-£₃), (iv) Burns and Spry triangular diagram (log x/r, log y/r, log z/r), (v) Plot of £s against Lode's parameter, v (Hossack Diagram) and finally (vi) Rf/plot (of Dunnet) have been written by the author and the zipped or cabinet (.ZIP or .CAB) files of the Setup or Install programs of this software can be downloaded from the URL: http://www.structural-geology-portaI.com/ downloads.html. The user has an option of superimposing Vx and V7 or r and p curves on the first three of these plots. The curves of equal a.b, equal a⁴.b⁴ or equal (In a).(In b) can also be superimposed by the user. The user can enter a caption for the plot and change its font and font attributes and colour; and the colour of labeling, colour of coordinates on graph and the background colour of the graph. The data is plotted as hollow or solid squares but in a recent version not available for downloading yet, the user can choose the symbols such as cross, plus, star (asterisk), circle (filled or hollow) etc. An object custom control captures the exact graph in a separate window where it can be COPIEd, SAVEd under a valid filename; PRINT PREVIEWed by using another object custom control and finally PRINTed by using a third object control. Apart from these six plots, a single composite software which can be used for using any of the six plots is also written, and its zipped Setup or Install file, the sixStrain. zip can be downloaded from the URL mentioned above. This brief paper is intended to give the details of this software bunch.
