Stereonet Ribbon Tab
Context-sensitive tab — appears when the Stereonet context is active.
Commands available on the Stereonet ribbon tab, grouped by panel.
This tab carries navigation and pole selection only. Everything that decides what is drawn — poles, planes, contours, the rose and dip plots, the grid, the key and the stress-attribute field — lives in the property sheet, and the display toggles, selection commands, 2D/3D view modes and SVG export are on the net's right-click menu.
Both are documented in the Stereonet User Guide.
Navigation
Zoom To Fit
Tooltip: Zoom to fit
Fit the entire stereonet within the window.
Zoom In
Tooltip: Zoom in
Zoom into the stereonet around its centre.
Zoom Out
Tooltip: Zoom out

Select From Poles
Selection is shared with the rest of VRGS: poles picked here are selected on the objects themselves, so they are selected in the 3D view and in the trees too.
Rectangle
Tooltip: Select poles inside a rectangle
Drag a rectangle on the stereonet to select all poles inside it.
Ellipse
Tooltip: Select poles inside an ellipse
Drag an ellipse on the stereonet to select all poles inside it.
Polygon
Tooltip: Select poles inside a polygon
Draw a closed polygon on the stereonet to select all poles inside it.
Sector
Tooltip: Select poles inside a sector
Define an angular sector on the stereonet to select all poles within it.
Hide Unselected
Tooltip: Hide unselected poles
Hide every orientation that is not part of the current selection — in the 3D view as well as on the net.
Having selected a cluster, right-click and choose View in 3D window to fly the 3D view to where those poles came from.
