- A rose diagram is used to graphically summarise directional data such as palaeocurrent information: the example on the right shows data indicating a flow to the south west. Paleocurrent data may be entered in a field notebook and subsequently published in tabular form.
- Plotting those patterns on Rose diagrams is a technique many of us learned in our introductory geomorphology classes at Ohio universities. GIS Applications, and Geology V, edited by Manfred.
- A survey of 182 papers from 12 recent volumes (113–124) of Journal of Structural Geology revealed that 27 contain some form of rose diagram, always of the wedge type, but only 2 (7.4%) were plotted with the frequency proportional to the area (equal-area wedge type).
Standard rose diagrams are a favorite method of depicting orientations because of their ease of comprehension, but they are known to have two serious problems. First, arbitrary decisions about class width and starting position can dramatically alter the resulting diagram, although the degree of variation has been underappreciated. Second, when rose diagrams are correctly scaled to the square root of the class frequency, they can be awkward to evaluate. Possible solutions that deserve consideration include (1) representing 1° classes with rays of dots ('dot diagrams', allowing linear scaling), and (2) overcoming arbitrariness by combining all possible rose diagrams for a dataset into one diagram ('summed datasets'). Solution #1 can work by plotting either one dot per datum ('corona dot diagrams') or one dot for each value above or below the mean membership ('mean-deviation dot diagrams'). Both plot types can show either raw or summed data. Drawing one-degree class-width diagrams and summing (combining) all possible rose diagrams offers the only non-arbitrary versions of orientation diagrams, but summing diagrams smoothes the data slightly, thereby additionally weighting clusters of similar but not identical data points. My recommendation is to publish a dot plot of the raw data, and another of the summed results. Mean-deviation diagrams and factor-averaged summed datasets work together particularly well.
With GeoRose 0.5.0, users are able to plot stereonet diagram with plane data and lineation data for both equal area and equal angle projections,. Users can fully control the style of the diagram as in rose diagram plotting mode. At the same time, polar area diagram is ruled out in this release.

RoseDiagram is a very simple program to produce a rose diagram (radial histogram) from a set of azimuth data (degrees). The program is written with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and requires .Net Framework 3.5. This framework should be on up-to-date Vista installations but you may be prompted to install the framework on machines running XP or Vista systems not recently updated. The program is intended as a simple means for previewing orientation frequency distribution data and preparing it for presentation with graphics programs such as Golden Software (e.g., Surfer and Grapher), ESRI (e.g., ArcGIS), and Microsoft Excel. Note if using more general, non-mapping graphics programs (e.g., Excel or Kaleidograph), the rose will appear distorted because these programs do not constrain the plot scale to be identical in both vertical and horizontal directions (the user will have to manipulate the plot to correct for this distortion). The program has minimal error checking so may 'crash' when causing an error unanticipated by the writer. A minimalist approach has been taken with this program; input and output files are not used nor does the program attempt to produce publishable diagrams (although it does produce output to be used by other publishable programs). Input is by typing or, more efficiently, pasting azimuth data into the input text window. Output is by selecting and copying data from the output text windows (data are tab delimited) into graphics programs using Cartesian data.
A zip file containing the latest version (1.03) of RoseDiagram (requiring .Net Framework 3.5) with the program, documentation, and sample data may be downloaded here. Instructions (pdf) for running the program are available here.
Installation uses Microsoft's installer and is similar to most other Windows program installs (please note disclaimer). RoseDiagram has been installed and run on both Windows XP and Vista machines. .Net Framework 3.5 is necessary to run the RoseDiagram. If the appropriate .Net Framework is not already installed on your machine, you will be prompted to install it (browser will appear to take you to update site).
Please let me know, David.Nash@uc.edu, if you discover errors or would like additional features added.
