Talk:Pole figure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Related articles
Here are four closely related topics that Wikipedia should cover:
- stereographic projection and its role as the equal-angle hemispherical projection
- Pole figure, Wulff net, and stereonet (used to picture the equal-angle projection)
- equal-area hemispherical projection
- Schmidt net (used to picture the equal-area projection)
I think that the articles on Pole figure and Wulff net should be merged.
Furthermore, the merged Pole figure/Wulff net could be merged into the Stereographic projection article. Alternatively, the merged Pole figure/Wulff net could be merged into a new article that discusses the equal-area/Schmidt net stuff as well, in a parallel treatment. In fact, I am writing just such an article now: User:Joshuardavis/Hemispherical projection.
So my question is, How many articles do we want on these topics, and which ones should they be? Joshua R. Davis (talk) 00:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC) (Typo fixed in revision.)
- Update: The equal-area projection and Schmidt nets are now treated at Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. The Wulff net article has been merged into Stereographic projection. Should this Pole figure article also be merged into Stereographic projection? Joshua R. Davis (talk) 19:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
