Angles for Ternary plot

Description

Calculates Angles for determining ternary distribution of faults based on P-T axis orientation.

Usage

Bfocvec(Paz, Pdip, Taz, Tdip)

Arguments

Paz	vector of azimuths, degrees
Pdip	vector of dips, degrees
Taz	vector of azimuths, degrees
Tdip	vector of dips, degrees

Details

This calculation is based on Froelich's paper.
