1515 strengths :
16- - Correct equal-area projection math with proper Schmidt net formulas
17- - Clean code structure with well-documented projection computations
18- - Good geological data with three distinct feature types showing realistic orientations
19- - Proper use of pygal allow_interruptions for disconnected great circle segments
20- - Dual output (PNG + interactive HTML)
16+ - Correct equal-area projection math with proper Schmidt net formulas for great
17+ circles and poles
18+ - Colorblind-safe blue-red-amber palette with good contrast
19+ - Realistic geological data with three distinct feature types showing characteristic
20+ orientations
21+ - Creative workarounds for pygal limitations (N label as line segments, allow_interruptions
22+ for disconnected segments)
23+ - Dual PNG + HTML output leveraging pygal native capabilities
2124 weaknesses :
22- - Missing Kamb density contours (key spec requirement)
23- - Compass direction labels (N/E/S/W) not rendered as readable text
24- - Legend naming inconsistency (Faults vs Fault)
25- - No equal-area net grid lines as spec requires
26- - Canvas underutilized with too much empty space
25+ - Density contours produce scattered disconnected line segments rather than smooth
26+ contour shapes
27+ - Two unnamed legend entries (grid and structural elements) appear as orphan colored
28+ squares
29+ - Great circle rendering may extend slightly beyond the primitive circle boundary
30+ - No visual hierarchy or storytelling emphasis to guide viewer interpretation
2731 image_description : ' The plot shows an equal-area (Schmidt net) stereonet rendered
2832 as a pygal XY chart on a white 3600x3600 canvas. A gray primitive circle forms
29- the outer boundary with tick marks every 10 degrees around the perimeter. Very
30- faint compass labels (N, E, S, W) appear at the cardinal positions but are barely
31- readable due to the light gray color. Three geological feature types are plotted:
32- Bedding planes (blue great circles and poles), Faults (orange/red great circles
33- and poles), and Joints (purple great circles and poles). Great circles arc across
34- the stereonet showing plane orientations, while poles appear as colored dots.
35- Bedding poles cluster in the SW quadrant (low dip, NE strike), Fault poles cluster
36- in the center-south area, and Joint poles cluster in the NE-E area (sub-vertical,
37- N-S strike). A legend at the bottom lists all six series in three columns. The
38- title reads "stereonet-equal-area · pygal · pyplots.ai" at the top. No density
39- contours are present.'
33+ the outer boundary with tick marks every 10 degrees around the perimeter. An "N"
34+ label is drawn at the top using connected line segments (creative workaround for
35+ pygal'' s lack of text annotations). Three geological feature types are plotted
36+ with a colorblind-safe palette: Bedding planes (blue great circles arcing across
37+ the stereonet with blue pole dots clustered in the center area), Faults (red/salmon
38+ great circles with red pole dots in the SW quadrant), and Joints (amber/gold great
39+ circles with gold pole dots clustered in the upper-right/NE area). Dashed gray
40+ density contour lines are scattered across the projection attempting to show pole
41+ concentration zones. Subtle dashed grid lines show the equal-area net with small
42+ circles at 30 and 60 degree dip intervals and diametral lines every 30 degrees.
43+ A legend at the bottom lists all series in 4 columns including Bedding (planes),
44+ Faults (planes), Joints (planes), corresponding poles, and Density contours —
45+ though two unnamed series (grid and structural elements) also appear as small
