What use is WinTek! ?

Wintek can be used for display and analysis of structural data:
  • stereo plots of up to 10 datasets, each with own symbol, color, as pole or great circle
  • contour diagrams with up to 100 contour levels. WinTek uses an extreme fast and optimized counting and contouring algorithm
  • contours can be filled, local minima are not hidden by overlapping contours
  • a statistical analysis of the orientation parameter including Eigenvectors can be performed

Creating a new dataset

Select "Edit --> Create new dataset..."
A blank window will open. Enter dip direction and dip on one line, separated by a comma. Enter a "*" after the last entry. Example:
210,45
188,10
012,03
*
Then use "File -> Save and take data" from the editor window's menu!

Display a dataset

Choose one of the toolbar options:
displays a contour diagram of the dataset
displays a rose diagram of the dataset
displays a great circle diagram of the dataset
displays a pole point diagram of the dataset
Or choose an option from the "Diagrams" pull-down menu!

Change a symbol

Click on the symbol (not on the filename!) displayed in the upper right corner of the screen!
A dialog box will open that allows adjustment of symbol size, roation, fill color, pen color or lets you change a different symbol.
