    PROJECTIONS
    ─────────────────────────────────────────
    • Equal-Area (Schmidt) lower hemisphere
    • Equal-Angle (Wulff) lower hemisphere

    PLOT TYPES
    ─────────────────────────────────────────
    • Planes as great circles + poles
    • Linear elements (trend/plunge) as points
    • Kamb density contours — exponential / linear / raw kernels
      (Vollmer 1995), filled or line, sigma-adjustable
    • Eigenvector overlay (S1 / S2 / S3 principal axes)
    • Fisher mean vector + alpha-95 confidence cone
    • Auto-detected orientation "sets" via spherical k-means
      (Dips-style set-window analysis)
    • Rose diagram with automatic dominant-direction interpretation

    STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
    ─────────────────────────────────────────
    • Eigenvalue tensor (S1, S2, S3 + Woodcock K and C)
    • Fisher statistics (kappa, R-bar, alpha95, mean vector)
    • Best-fit girdle / fold axis (pi-diagram)
    • Mean plane determination
    • Two-plane intersection (beta-axis)
    • Angular distance between any two linear features
    • Dip-direction/dip to RHR strike/dip auto-conversion

    DATA SOURCES
    ─────────────────────────────────────────
    • QGIS vector layers with live selection sync
    • CSV / TSV files with auto-delimiter detection

    EXPORT
    ─────────────────────────────────────────
    • PNG (300 dpi), SVG (vector), PDF via Matplotlib
