WinRock

WinRock is a
petrology/geochemistry
program for Windows. WinRock plots IUGS igneous classification
diagrams, including QAPF diagrams, plus sandstone, general
purpose XY, log, and ternary diagrams. Each diagram contains
separate labeled fields corresponding to individual rock types
with data and rock names listed in separate tables. There are
optional tick marks, labels, titles, fonts and fields, plus a
choice of symbols and colors. Data can be marked and labeled
using the drawing tools. There is a built in spreadsheet with
multiple document interface and clipboard support.

About WinRock
Data can be entered
via the keyboard or
imported from other applications. WinRock uses its own data file
format and can also be setup to work with imported tab delimited
ASCII XYZ data files with the Define Columns Command. Spreadsheet
functions include sorting, custom formulas, convert modal
mineralogy to XYZ coordinates and clipboard support.
Before plotting
data, graph options are
set with the Set Diagram Options Command. A specific diagram type
is selected from a list of classification diagrams and symbol
descriptions can be entered for printing with the diagram.
Selections can be made with a mouse or via the keyboard. Labels
and graph titles can be plotted. Click on the Plot toolbar button
to plot your data.
A standard
classification diagram with
rock type fields is displayed in the Plot Window. Each field is
labeled and a list of rock names is displayed in a table. Small
or large data sets can be classified and compared using symbols
and colors and individual points can be highlighted by clicking
on a separate table containing a list of sample id's and xyz
data. Tick marks, labels and fields can be instantly added and
removed.
The diagram can be
printed, copied to
the clipboard or saved as a bitmap file using the menu system.
Rock names and symbol legends can be printed with the diagram.
