Fault Plane Solutions

This module allows for the display of fault plane solutions as beachball plots. The beachball plots can be exported to shapefiles. Note that two shapefiles are exported - one for the actual beachballs and one for a boundary of the beachballs.

The core code is translated from bb.m written by Andy Michael and Oliver Boyd at http://www.ceri.memphis.edu/people/olboyd/Software/Software.html

Option are:

  • FPS Algorithm - can be FOCMEC or FPFIT

  • Width scale factor - option to scale the “beachballs”

  • Geographic units or Projected units.
