Dip-Pitch-Plunge Triangular Diagram — balebrun

Ternary fabric orientation diagram after Balé and Brun (1989) showing the pitch and plunge of stretching lineation (X) and the dip of the foliation plane (XY).

Usage

balebrun_plot(
  x,
  labels = NULL,
  main = "Dip-Pitch-Plunge Diagram",
  extra_labels = TRUE,
  add = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x: object of class "Pair"
labels: character. Text labels
main: character. The title of the plot.
extra_labels: logical. Should some extra labels be added to the plot?
add: logical. Should data be plotted to an existing plot?
...: optional plotting parameters passed to graphics::points()
