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.
