Using an interactive mouse tool, click on selected points along the geological contact in the image. Orion computes the best-fit plane through those points and shows the fitting statistics with their confidence limits. Check your fit by looking at the fitted surface trace across the image. You can also see the fitted plane in a 3D block view. Then add, delete and move the selected points until you are satisfied you have the best fit possible. Once you accept and save the measurements, Orion then plots the result on the image as a strike/dip or dip-direction/dip symbol. You can analyze a group of measurements projected on a customizable stereonet and perform basic structural analysis by computing the principal directions of the fitted planes and contouring their density distribution.

Orion now gives you more ways to view your image: 

• Rotatable 3-dimensional block diagram with your image draped on the surface
  
• Colored anaglyph showing the surface in 3 dimensions
  
• Cross-section, with projected planes
  

But Orion does more:

• You can make a geological map from the image, or just annotate it for presentation. Text, structural symbols, decorated lines and symbol-filled polygons can all be added on the image as a selectable layer.
• You can make measurements of distances and directions on the image and topographic map with a handy popup measuring tool.
  

Output options:

• Save the images and plots as bitmap files.
  
• Save the computations as a table of results.
  
• Print the images, plots or table of results.
  

And more!
