Winrock is now completely re-written with Visual Studio and Net Framework. The good news, now Winrock is specifically targeted for all CPUs, both 32 and 64 bit. The new version 8 is available now.

Description

WinRock is a petrology/geochemistry program for Windows. WinRock plots IUGS igneous classification diagrams, including QAPF diagrams, plus sandstone, general purpose XY, pie, log, and ternary diagrams. Each diagram contains separate labeled fields corresponding to individual rock types with data and rock names listed in separate tables. There are optional tick marks, labels, titles, fonts and fields, plus a choice of symbols and colors. Data can be marked and labeled using the drawing tools. There is a built in spreadsheet with multiple document interface and clipboard support.

• Windows 7, 8, 10
• Classify rocks graphically for all rockgroups
• Classify rocks by calculation using modal mineralogy for felsic, mafic, ultramafic volcanic and plutonic rocks, and sandstones

About WinRock

Data can be entered via the keyboard or imported from other applications. WinRock uses its own data file format and can also be setup to work with imported tab delimited ASCII XYZ data files with the Define Columns Command. Spreadsheet functions include calculating norms and classification schemes, format conversion, sorting, convert modal mineralogy to XYZ coordinates and clipboard support.

Before plotting data, graph options are set with the Set Diagram Options Command. A specific diagram type is selected from a list of classification diagrams and symbol descriptions can be entered for printing with the diagram. Selections can be made with a mouse or via the keyboard. Labels and graph titles can be plotted. Click on the Plot toolbar button to plot your data.

A standard classification diagram with rock type fields is displayed in the Plot Window. Each field is labeled and a list of rock names is displayed in a table. Small or large data sets can be classified and compared using symbols and colors and individual points can be identified by clicking on the point or using the Find option. Tick marks, labels and fields can be instantly added and removed.

The diagram can be printed, copied to the clipboard or exported using the menu system.
