Description
WinRock is a powerful educational software designed for petrology and geochemistry enthusiasts. This Windows-based program offers an extensive range of features that allow users to plot IUGS igneous classification diagrams, sandstone diagrams, general purpose XY diagrams, log diagrams, bar diagrams and ternary diagrams. With its user-friendly interface and advanced capabilities, WinRock is the perfect tool for students, researchers and professionals who want to explore the world of rocks.
One of the key features of WinRock is its ability to plot IUGS igneous classification diagrams. These are essential tools used by geologists to classify different types of igneous rocks based on their mineral composition. The program allows users to create QAPF (Quartz-Alkali Feldspar-Plagioclase-Feldspathoid) diagrams which are widely used in petrology research.
In addition to IUGS igneous classification diagrams, WinRock also offers sandstone diagramming capabilities. Sandstones are sedimentary rocks composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. The software allows users to create detailed plots that show the composition and texture of different types of sandstones.
General purpose XY plotting is another feature offered by WinRock. This feature enables users to create graphs with two variables plotted against each other on a Cartesian plane. This type of graphing can be useful in many fields including physics, chemistry and biology.
Log plotting is another important feature offered by WinRock which allows users to plot data from boreholes or wells as a function of depth or time. Bar charts can also be created using this software which can be useful in displaying categorical data such as rock types or mineral compositions.
Ternary diagramming capabilities are also included in this software package allowing for three variables plotted against each other on a triangular grid representing compositional space.
Each diagram created using WinRock contains separate labeled fields corresponding with individual rock types with data and rock names listed in separate tables making it easy for researchers or students alike who need quick access information about specific rocks they may encounter during their studies.
The program provides optional tick marks, labels, titles fonts and fields plus a choice between symbols and colors giving you complete control over how your data will appear when presented visually through these various charting options available within the application itself!
Data can be marked up using drawing tools built into the application making it easy for you annotate your work as needed while working within this powerful spreadsheet environment that supports multiple document interfaces along with clipboard support so you never lose any important information while working within this robust platform!
Overall if you're looking for an educational software package that provides comprehensive charting options along with advanced functionality then look no further than Winrock!
