1515 strengths :
1616 - Mathematically correct equal-area (Schmidt) projection with proper pole and great
1717 circle computation
18- - ' All specification features fully implemented: great circles, poles, density contours,
19- tick marks, cardinal labels, legend'
20- - Excellent data quality with realistic geological context and appropriate structural
21- feature variety
22- - Clean, well-structured code with good comments explaining the projection geometry
23- - Thoughtful density contour styling with warm color gradient and appropriate transparency
18+ - All specification features fully implemented with perfect spec compliance
19+ - Excellent data quality with realistic geological context
20+ - ' Addressed all feedback from attempt 1: hover tooltips enabled, colorblind-safe
21+ purple replaces red, subtitle added, annotation for data storytelling'
22+ - Clean, well-structured code with good comments
2423 weaknesses :
25- - Hover information disabled on all traces — Plotly key strength of interactivity
26- is completely unused for pole data
27- - Red-green color combination (Fault vs Joint Set 2) may be problematic for colorblind
28- viewers
29- - No subtitle or descriptive annotation indicating this is a Lower Hemisphere Equal-Area
30- Projection
31- - Library mastery is limited — implementation treats Plotly as a static renderer
32- rather than leveraging interactive capabilities
24+ - Design could use more refinement to reach publication quality (DE-01 at 5, needs
25+ 6+ for 90)
26+ - Bottom whitespace slightly unbalanced — stereonet could be more vertically centered
27+ - Degree labels (15pt) and annotation text (14pt) are on the smaller side relative
28+ to other text elements
3329 image_description : ' The plot displays a structural geology stereonet using Schmidt
34- equal-area (lower-hemisphere) projection. A black primitive circle defines the
35- boundary, with tick marks every 10 degrees around the perimeter and bold cardinal
36- direction labels (N, S, E, W) plus degree labels every 30 degrees. Four feature
37- types are plotted as colored pole points: Bedding (steel blue, ~20 points clustered
38- in the SE quadrant), Joint Set 1 (orange, ~15 points near the E edge), Joint Set
39- 2 (green, ~12 points near the S edge), and Fault (red, ~8 points scattered in
40- the SW quadrant). Semi-transparent great circle arcs are drawn in matching colors
41- for a subset of planes. Warm-toned KDE density contours (yellow-orange-red gradient)
42- highlight pole concentration areas, particularly around the Bedding cluster. Subtle
43- dotted grid lines show 30 and 60 degree small circles plus N-S and E-W diameters.
44- A bordered legend titled "Feature Type" sits outside the plot to the upper right.
45- The title reads "stereonet-equal-area · plotly · pyplots.ai" centered at the top.
46- White background with plotly_white template.'
30+ equal-area (lower-hemisphere) projection on a white background. A thick black
31+ primitive circle defines the boundary with tick marks every 10° (longer ticks
32+ every 30°). Bold cardinal direction labels (N, S, E, W) are positioned outside
33+ the circle, with degree labels (30°, 60°, 120°, 150°, 210°, 240°, 300°, 330°)

36+ near the E edge), Joint Set 2 (green, ~12 points near the S edge), and Fault (purple,
37+ ~8 points scattered in the SW quadrant). Semi-transparent great circle arcs in
38+ matching colors are drawn for representative planes. Warm-toned KDE density contours

41+ A bordered annotation with arrow reads "Dominant NE-striking bedding fabric" pointing
42+ to the bedding cluster. Legend titled "Feature Type" sits to the upper right outside
43+ the circle. Title: "stereonet-equal-area · plotly · pyplots.ai" with subtitle
