Structural Families Mapper QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Structural Families Mapper supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Structural geology workflow: CSV/Excel import with QA/QC validation, GeoPackage layers with geological symbology, Rose/Schmidt/Wulff diagrams with hand-drawn family selection, fault kinematics (P/T axes, tectonic regime) and orientation-tensor fabric analysis.
About
Structural Families Mapper takes raw structural geology measurements (dip, dip direction, strike, and optionally fault rake) from CSV or Excel, automatically detects and validates columns, and builds a normalized GeoPackage layer with geological symbology. It plots Rose Diagrams and Schmidt/Wulff stereonets -- with great circles, pole density contours and orientation-tensor eigenvector (cluster/girdle) analysis -- and lets the geologist define structural families by hand-drawing a selection directly on the diagram, kept in sync with the QGIS map selection. For fault-slip data it computes P/T kinematic axes and infers the tectonic regime (extensional, contractional, strike-slip, transtensional, transpressional) per family. Includes grouped spatial statistics and PDF/PNG/SVG export. Designed for structural geologists working in mining, exploration and academia.
