Muller et al. (1992) potassic igneous rocks discrimination

Description

Assigns Figaro templates to geotectonic diagrams for potassic igneous rocks of Müller et al. (1992) into the list 'plate') and appropriate values into the list 'plate.data' for subsequent plotting.

Usage

MullerKbinary(plot.txt=getOption("gcd.plot.text"))
MullerKternary(plot.txt=getOption("gcd.plot.text"))

Arguments

plot.txt

logical, annotate fields by their names?

Details

Suite of binary and ternary diagrams for discrimination of geotectonic environment of potassic igneous rocks, proposed by Müller et al. (1992) and Müller & Groves (1995). Following geotectonic settings may be deduced:

Abbreviation used Environment
CAP Continental Arc
PAP Postcollisonal Arc
IOP Initial Oceanic Arc
LOP Late Oceanic Arc
WIP Within Plate

Note

This function uses the plates concept. The individual plots can be selected and their properties/appearance changed as if they were stand alone Figaro-compatible plots. See Plate, Plate editing and figaro for details.
