I haven't worked on the code yet, but there are lots of good resources available. Probably a lot of that code should go into [mplstereonet](https://github.com/joferkington/mplstereonet/).\r\n\r\n * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics\r\n * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingham_distribution\r\n * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_distribution\r\n * Fisher, Lewis, Embleton (2008) Statistical Analysis of Spherical Data\r\n * Lisa Tauxe: http://magician.ucsd.edu/essentials/WebBookli1.html\r\n   * [Fisher Statistics](http://magician.ucsd.edu/essentials/WebBookch11.html)\r\n   * [Beyond Fisher statistics](http://magician.ucsd.edu/essentials/WebBookch12.html)\r\n * [PmagPy](https://github.com/ltauxe/PmagPy)\r\n\r\n#### User Interface\r\n\r\nI think in this case it would be good to offer both a dynamic option (similar to the contours, that are updated after each edit), and a static option (calculate distribution and add it as a new layer).\r\n\r\n"}}
