WinRock is a petrology/geochemistry and classification program for Windows. WinRock plots IUGS igneous classification diagrams, including QAPF diagrams, plus sandstone, general purpose ternary and XY diagrams. Each diagram contains separate Labeled fields corresponding to individual rock types with 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.
WinRock has an inbuilt spreadsheet for entering and editing data. The spreadsheet reads and writes tab delimited ASCII files, compatible with most spreadsheets and text editors. A number of other popular formats including excel, csv, pdf and html are also supported.
A set of standard rock classification diagrams are included: carbonatite, charnockite, melilite volcanic, melilite plutonic, QAPF general plutonic, QAPF general volcanic, PlagPxOl, PlagPxHbl, PlagOpxCPx, OlOPxCPx, OlPxHbl, general sandstone, Arenites and Wackes.
A number of geochemical classification diagrams, including, TAS plutonic and volcanic, Jensen Cation and tectonic classification plots are available.
CIPW normative minerals for normal rocks can be calculated. Alkali norm for alkaline rocks and carbonatites can be calculated.
Petrology diagrams, including harker, ternary and spider plot diagrams are included. A number of other plots, XY, Log, Ternary, Diamond and Bar Charts in 2D and 3D are included.
Many options are available for plotting data. A choice of symbols, labels and diagram title is available to customize the diagram.
