StratPlot menu
Only visible when the active window is a Strat Plot; separate lists of options
are maintained for the two versions of Strat Plot in PaleoMag. Current options
in the active window are checked accordingly.
- Positive Level Up:
- If checked, strat levels (or file positions) are assumed to
be positive upwards.
- Level = File Position:
- If checked, strat levels are ignored and each direction
is assigned an integer value for the order in which it is in the source (.SAM) file.
- Connect Points:
- Connect points in the three strat panes with lines.
- Shade Normal Pol:
- Fill the circles of the points from samples with
inclinations (or paleolatitudes or VGP latitudes, depending on what is plotted
in the inclination pane) that are greater than zero.
- Ranges...:
- Produces a dialog allowing the user to change the limits on the
declination pane, the moment/MAD pane, and the stratigraphic level displayed.
Focusing on the entire range of currently selected directions is accomplished
by checking the "Use top and bottom samples for bounds" button; this must be
unchecked for the Strat levels specified to be used.
Only one of the following three options can be active at once:
- Plot Sample Incl:
- The default. The inclination in either stratigraphic or
geographic (or core) coordinates is plotted in the inclination pane.
- Incl = Paleolatitude:
- Replace the Inclination pane with the paleolatitude
calculated from the inclination.
- Incl = VGP Latitude:
- Replace the Inclination pane with the latitude of the
Virtual Geomagnetic Pole (VGP) calculated from the declination and inclination.
This has no effect when core coordinates are being plotted.
