1515 strengths :
16- - ' Full spec compliance with all required features: great circles, poles, density
17- contours, grid, tick marks, and cardinal labels'
18- - Excellent data quality with realistic geological scenario showing four distinct
19- structural feature types
20- - Clean code with proper equal-area projection mathematics and vectorized operations
21- - Thoughtful design with styled annotation highlighting the dominant bedding fabric
22- - Interactive hover tooltips providing geological data (strike/dip) for each pole
16+ - Mathematically correct equal-area (Schmidt) projection implementation
17+ - All spec requirements fully met (great circles, poles, density contours, grid,
18+ tick marks, legend)
19+ - Realistic geological data with four distinct feature types showing varied orientations
20+ - Effective use of Plotly-specific features (interactive density toggle, hover tooltips,
21+ HTML export)
22+ - Clean annotation highlighting dominant bedding fabric cluster adds data storytelling
23+ - Warm density contour gradient is visually appealing and informative
2324 weaknesses :
24- - Density contours are too faint to be easily interpretable — colorscale max alpha
25- only 0.45
26- - Great circle arcs at 0.45 opacity are difficult to distinguish
27- - Green and orange colors may be hard to distinguish for colorblind viewers
25+ - Design polish could be elevated further - color palette is good but not exceptional
26+ - Some wasted canvas space on right side between stereonet and legend
27+ - Markers could be slightly larger for optimal visibility at full resolution
2828 image_description : ' The plot displays a lower-hemisphere equal-area (Schmidt) stereonet
2929 projection on a white background. A black primitive circle defines the projection
30- boundary with tick marks every 10 degrees and bold cardinal direction labels (N,
31- E, S, W) at the perimeter. Degree labels (30, 60, 120, 150, 210, 240, 300, 330)
32- appear at 30-degree intervals. Inside the circle, a subtle dotted grid shows small
33- circles at 30 and 60 degree inclination plus N-S and E-W diameter lines. Four
34- feature types are plotted as colored poles (dots with white edges): blue (Bedding)
35- clustered in the center-south, orange (Joint Set 1) near the east, green (Joint
36- Set 2) in the south, and purple (Fault) scattered in the southwest. Semi-transparent
37- great circle arcs are drawn for representative planes in matching colors. Very
38- subtle warm-toned density contours (yellow-orange-red) highlight pole concentrations,
39- most visibly around the bedding and joint set 1 clusters. An annotation with arrow
40- points to the bedding cluster reading "Dominant NE-striking bedding fabric." The
41- legend in the upper-right shows "Feature Type" with four entries. Title reads
42- "stereonet-equal-area · plotly · pyplots.ai" with subtitle "Lower Hemisphere,
43- Equal-Area (Schmidt) Projection."'
30+ boundary, with cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) labeled in bold black text and
31+ degree marks (30°, 60°, 120°, 150°, 210°, 240°, 300°, 330°) in gray around the
32+ perimeter. Tick marks appear every 10° around the circle edge, with longer ticks
33+ at 30° intervals. Inside, subtle dotted gray grid lines show two concentric circles
34+ (30° and 60° inclination) and N-S/E-W diameter lines. Four feature types are plotted
35+ as colored circular markers with white borders: Bedding (dark blue, clustered
36+ in the lower-center), Joint Set 1 (orange, clustered on the east side), Joint
37+ Set 2 (teal, clustered in the south), and Fault (purple, scattered in the lower-left).
38+ Color-coded great circles are drawn for representative planes of each type. Warm
39+ yellow-orange-red density contours (Kamb-style KDE) highlight the bedding cluster
40+ as the dominant concentration. An annotation with an arrow labels the bedding
41+ cluster "Dominant NE-striking bedding fabric." A legend titled "Feature Type"
42+ sits to the upper right outside the circle. Interactive toggle buttons ("Show
43+ Density" / "Hide Density") appear at the bottom left. The title reads "stereonet-equal-area
44+ · plotly · pyplots.ai" with subtitle "Lower Hemisphere, Equal-Area (Schmidt) Projection."'
