ElliIn reads output files generated from the program Ellipsoid 2003 in order to create stereonets, Nadai plots, and interactive 3D ellipsoid models.
ElliIn(elli.files)Path of Ellipsoid 2003 file (.elli) to be read into R.
Returns a data frame object containing properties of fitted ellipsoids including the filename of the Ellipsoid 2003 file; X, Y, and Z axial lengths of the ellipsoids; X, Y, Z axial azimuths and inclinations; strike and dip of the XY plane; rake of lineation within XY plane; number of sections used to fit ellipsoid; incompatibility index; octahedral shear strain, and Lode parameter.
