faultplane: fault plane projection on focal sphere

Description

given azimuth and dip of fault mechanism, calculate and plot the fault plane.

Usage

faultplane(az, dip, col = par("col"), PLOT = TRUE, UP = FALSE,lwd=2, lty=1, ...)

Value

list of points along fault plane

x

coordinates on focal sphere

y

coordinates on focal sphere

Arguments

az

degrees, strike of the plane (NOT down dip azimuth)

dip

degrees, dip from horizontal

col

color for line

PLOT

option for adding to plot

UP

upper or lower hemisphere

lwd

Line Width

lty

Line Type

...

graphical parameters

Details

Azimuth is the strike in degrees, not the down dip azimuth as described in other routines.
