The projection toggles between the following:

    Equal angle (Wulff): A map projection on which a constant ratio of angle is preserved.

    Equal area (Schmidt): A map projection on which a constant ratio of areas is preserved, so that any given part of the map has the same relation to the area on the sphere it represents as the whole map has to the entire area represented.

Select the Grid style:

  • None: Turn off stereonet grid.
  • Equatorial: Change the stereonet grid to equatorial mode.
  • Polar: Change the stereonet grid to polar mode.

Poles can be rendered in points or the wireframe view by toggling Pole Render Mode button.

Select Scale poles if you want the poles to be sized according to their discontinuity or triangle area.
