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'
22- - Clean, well-structured code with appropriate complexity for a specialized plot
23- type
24- - Good data storytelling through marker size encoding by dip angle and density contour
25- overlay
16+ - Mathematically correct equal-area (Schmidt net) projection with proper Lambert
17+ formula
18+ - Excellent colorblind accessibility with both color AND shape redundancy
19+ - ' Sophisticated visual hierarchy: graduated tick marks, scaled marker sizes, glow
20+ rings, desaturated contours'
21+ - ' Full spec compliance: all required features present (great circles, poles, density
22+ contours, grid, legend, tick marks)'
23+ - Realistic geological data with four distinct structural domains
24+ - Clean, well-organized code with appropriate complexity for this specialized plot
2625 weaknesses :
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
31- image_description : ' The plot displays a lower-hemisphere equal-area (Schmidt net)
32- stereonet projection on a square canvas with a light gray (#FAFAFA) background.
33- A bold black primitive circle contains the stereonet with subtle outer glow rings
34- for depth. Cardinal direction labels (N in larger bold, S, E, W in bold) are placed
35- around the perimeter, with degree labels every 30° in gray. Graduated tick marks
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
38- SW), Joint Set 1 (orange squares, #E88D39, clustered in SW/S), Joint Set 2 (purple
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.
42- Representative great circles are drawn in each feature type'' s color at reduced
43- opacity. A subtle equal-area grid (light gray dashed lines) provides reference.
44- The legend in the upper left lists all four feature types with matching marker
45- shapes. Title reads "stereonet-equal-area · seaborn · pyplots.ai". An italic annotation
46- "n = 110 measurements" appears in the bottom right.'
26+ - Density contours are very subtle (alpha=0.15) and may be hard to see at smaller
27+ display sizes
28+ - Measurement annotation at 13pt is slightly below ideal size for the canvas
29+ - Great circles could be slightly more prominent (alpha=0.45 makes them faint)
30+ image_description : ' The plot displays a Schmidt equal-area (lower-hemisphere) stereonet
31+ projection on a light gray (#FAFAFA) background within a 12x12 square canvas.
32+ A dark primitive circle encloses the projection area, surrounded by subtle glow
33+ rings. Four geological feature types are plotted as poles (points) with distinct
34+ marker shapes and a colorblind-safe palette: Bedding (blue circles, clustered
35+ in the west-center), Joint Set 1 (orange squares, clustered in the SW quadrant
36+ around 210-240 degrees), Joint Set 2 (purple diamonds, clustered in the N/NNE
37+ area around 330-30 degrees), and Fault (teal triangles, clustered in the E/ESE
38+ area around 90-120 degrees). Great circles (curved lines) are drawn in corresponding
39+ colors for 3 representative planes per feature type. Semi-transparent filled density
40+ contours (KDE) surround each cluster with thin contour lines. Tick marks appear
41+ every 10 degrees with graduated lengths (longer at cardinal/30-degree intervals).
42+ Cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) are labeled in bold, with degree marks every
43+ 30 degrees. A legend in the upper left shows all four feature types with matching
44+ marker shapes. The title reads "stereonet-equal-area · seaborn · pyplots.ai".
45+ An italic annotation "n = 110 measurements" appears in the lower right corner.
46+ Dashed concentric grid circles and great-circle grid lines provide subtle reference.'
