1515 strengths :
16- - Excellent spec compliance - all required features implemented correctly (great
17- circles, poles, density contours, grid, tick marks)
18- - Correct equal-area projection math with proper pole conversion
19- - Good data storytelling through marker size encoding by dip angle and clear density
20- contours
16+ - Perfect spec compliance - all required stereonet features correctly implemented
17+ (great circles, poles, density contours, grid, tick marks, legend)
18+ - Correct equal-area projection math with proper pole conversion formulas
19+ - Excellent color accessibility - blue/orange/purple/teal colorblind-safe palette
20+ - ' Strong design polish: outer glow rings, graduated tick marks, marker shape+size
21+ encoding, FAFAFA background'
2122 - Clean, well-structured code with appropriate complexity for a specialized plot

24+ - Good data storytelling through marker size encoding by dip angle and density contour
25+ overlay
2326 weaknesses :
24- - ' Color accessibility: green/red pairing could be improved for colorblind viewers '
25- - Design polish could be elevated further (e.g., more refined typography, subtle
26- background tint)
27- - Heavy matplotlib reliance limits library mastery score
27+ - Library mastery limited by inherent need for low-level matplotlib for stereonet
28+ primitives
29+ - Degree labels at 14pt could be slightly larger for optimal readability at full
30+ resolution

32- Four feature types are plotted as colored poles (scatter points): Bedding (blue,
33- #306998), Joint Set 1 (orange, #E88D39), Joint Set 2 (green, #3AA655), and Fault
34- (red, #C44E52). Each cluster shows distinct orientation patterns. Gray KDE density
35- contours (filled with low alpha and outlined) highlight preferred orientations.

33+ A bold black primitive circle contains the stereonet with subtle outer glow rings

36+ appear every 10° around the circle. Four feature types are plotted as colored
37+ poles with distinct marker shapes: Bedding (blue circles, #306998, clustered in

39+ diamonds, #8B5FC7, clustered in NW/N), and Fault (teal triangles, #17A2B8, clustered
40+ in E). Marker sizes vary by dip angle (steeper = larger). KDE density contours
41+ (filled with low alpha, outlined) highlight preferred orientations for each cluster.
