  • PC99 is a Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000-based, Visual Basic freeware program. It utilizes a simple interface that facilitates the graphical presentation, statistical analysis, and comparison of paleocurrent data files. The graphical presentation formats supported by PC99 are rose and circular diagrams. Circular diagrams allow up to 10 individual and/or composite paleocurrent data files to be simulfaneously displayed and compared. Rose diagrams may be generated with a choice of radial scale, and petal width, thus aiding interpretation of paleocurrent patterns. Paleocurrent data of the Cenozoic Hoh Xil Basin, northern Tibet, are presented and their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics are examined by using PC99. We found PC99 a highly efficient tool for the graphical display and interpretation of paleocurrent data.

Abstract: PC99 is a Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000-based, Visual Basic freeware program. It utilizes a simple interface that facilitates the graphical presentation, statistical analysis, and comparison of paleocurrent data files. The graphical presentation formats supported by PC99 are rose and circular diagrams. Circular diagrams allow up to 10 individual and/or composite paleocurrent data files to be simulfaneously displayed and compared. Rose diagrams may be generated with a choice of radial scale, and petal width, thus aiding interpretation of paleocurrent patterns. Paleocurrent data of the Cenozoic Hoh Xil Basin, northern Tibet, are presented and their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics are examined by using PC99. We found PC99 a highly efficient tool for the graphical display and interpretation of paleocurrent data.
