{structur} is a free and open-source package for R that provides tools for structural geology. You can
analyze and visualize orientation data of structural geology (including, stereographic projections, contouring, fabric plots, and statistics.)
analyze stress (including visualization of the magnitudes of stress in the Mohr circle and extracting the maximum horizontal stress of a 3D stress tensor)
reconstruct the orientation of structures in oriented drill cores using the alpha, beta, and gamma angles
calculate fault displacement components
Installation
You can install the development version of structr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tobiste/structr")Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to import data and plot them on a sterographic projection.
library(structr)
library(ggplot2)
data(example_planes)
planes <- Plane(example_planes$dipdir, example_planes$dip)
fabric <- or_shape_params(planes)$Vollmer["D"]
ggstereo() +
geom_contourf_stereo(gg(planes)) +
geom_point(data = gg(planes), aes(x, y), color = "grey", shape = 21) +
scale_fill_viridis_d(option = "F") +
labs(
subtitle = "Example data",
title = "Density contour plot",
fill = "Multiples of\nvon Mises-Fisher\ndistribution",
caption = paste0("Equal area, lower hemisphere projection | N: ", nrow(planes), " | Fabric strength: ", round(fabric, 2))
)
