DPlot

You've probably noticed the few testimonials in the right pane in several dplot.com pages. I'm always on the lookout for quotes in these Forums or in private e-mails that the writer subsequently gives me permission to use, but waiting and lurking for these hasn't produced as I'd like. For now I'll take the high road and not offer any bribes. That policy may change in the future

If you have any comments about DPlot that you don't mind the world seeing, please send them my way. As a minimum I'd need to include your name; otherwise it all sounds too manufactured. Links to your own or your company's web site are up to you - I'll be glad to include them, or not; it's your choice. Images are a definite plus but not a requirement.

Well, first of all, I hosed up my registration here by misspelling it.

As a follower of the Eruptions Blog (http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/), Dplot was invaluable in my postings there as "Lurking." The recent eruption of Eyjafjallajökull afforded me the opportunity to get a greater grasp on seismology and the functioning underneath the volcano. Many of the other people there enjoyed the data that I was able to present on the spatial representation of quake data.

A couple of plots that I made:



These are quakes under the volcano for the time indicated. I had to scrounge around the Internet to find usable terrain data, and I had to scarf an image of the MOHO, smooth out the annotations and import into Dplot it for the bottom contours. It's effectively the crust/mantle interface.

As another pet project, I grabbed the data on all quakes from 1973 to 2010 for the area 100 miles around the San Andreas from the USGS data server and plotted the latitude vs time. (I had to weed out the data with Excel) This allowed a very nice visualization of quake clusters moving up and down the oceanic/continental crust interface.



Now, whenever I want to visualize data, Dplot is where I turn.

Thanks much!

PS: If you can send me the DPlot files used for those images it would of course be much appreciated.

Done, should have come to you via my gmail account, my normal mail server was suspicious of the grf files. (it didn't' recognize the extension as being innocuous)

Thanks, but... 4 hours later, nothing has shown up. This isn't absolutely critical, as I can make do with your screenshots. But the DPlot files would of course be better.

2nd try via my main mail account. Both files stuck into a rar archive.

I got your files previously, thanks. I'm just a little slow on modifying pages.

And my latest. Video capture of the DPLOT generated quakes under El Hierro to present.

4D plot, two datasets. Topology was done by assigning an arbitrary time to the Lat, Lon, Depth points. Second data set is the Lat, Lon, Depth and Time of the individual quakes.

The capture was done with AVS Video Editor.

Thanks!
