GeoStereonet QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — GeoStereonet supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Industry-grade interactive stereonet plotter for structural geology. Plots planes and lines on Schmidt/Wulff nets with Kamb density contouring, eigenvector analysis, Fisher statistics, rose diagrams, fold axis detection, dip-direction conversion, and PNG/SVG/PDF export.
About
GeoStereonet is a professional structural geology analysis plugin for QGIS. PROJECTIONS ───────────────────────────────────────── • Equal-Area (Schmidt) lower hemisphere • Equal-Angle (Wulff) lower hemisphere PLOT TYPES ───────────────────────────────────────── • Planes as great circles + poles • Linear elements (trend/plunge) as points • Kamb density contours — exponential / linear / raw kernels (Vollmer 1995), filled or line, sigma-adjustable • Eigenvector overlay (S1 / S2 / S3 principal axes) • Fisher mean vector + alpha-95 confidence cone • Auto-detected orientation "sets" via spherical k-means (Dips-style set-window analysis) • Rose diagram with automatic dominant-direction interpretation STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS ───────────────────────────────────────── • Eigenvalue tensor (S1, S2, S3 + Woodcock K and C) • Fisher statistics (kappa, R-bar, alpha95, mean vector) • Best-fit girdle / fold axis (pi-diagram) • Mean plane determination • Two-plane intersection (beta-axis) • Angular distance between any two linear features • Dip-direction/dip to RHR strike/dip auto-conversion DATA SOURCES ───────────────────────────────────────── • QGIS vector layers with live selection sync • CSV / TSV files with auto-delimiter detection EXPORT ───────────────────────────────────────── • PNG (300 dpi), SVG (vector), PDF via Matplotlib
