Choose density controls and interpret concentrations of orientation measurements.

Density Contour settings control the orientation-density layer.

InputValues or rangeMeaning
Density VectorPole Vectors, Dip VectorsChooses which orientation vector is contoured.
Fisher Kappa ModeAuto, ManualSelects automatic smoothing or user-defined smoothing.
Fisher Kappa (k)1 to 300Manual smoothing concentration.
Contour Levels3 to 24Number of displayed contour bands.
Opacity0.05 to 1Transparency of the density overlay.

The density legend shows the low-to-high colour scale and the resolved Fisher kappa value. In auto mode, the app derives the displayed kappa from the current data.
