FlinnPlot {RockFab}

Function to plot a linear Flinn diagram from octahedral shear strain and Lode parameters of ellipsoids.

Description

Function produces a standardized linear Flinn diagram from the octahedral shear strains and Lode parameters of fitted ellipsoids.

Usage

FlinnPlot(oss = 1, lp = 0, out.file, max.k = 5,
plot.title = "Flinn diagram", labs)

Arguments

oss

A vector of octahedral shear strain values.

lp

A vector of Lode parameters

out.file

Path to PDF file for plotting.

max.k

Maximum x and y plotting limits. Either X/Y or Y/Z. Default 5 is good for moderate strains. Higher strains may need larger values.

plot.title

Title of the plot.

labs

Vector of labels of length equal to the length of oss and lp to add to plot.

Value

Creates a PDF of Flinn diagram.
