on several operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux;
supports both discrete and long core data; and facilitates analysis of

PuffinPlot offers batch analysis for large volumes of data, and a Python
scripting interface for programmatic control of its features. Available
data displays include demagnetization/intensity, Zijderveld, equal-area
(for sample, site, and suite level demagnetization data, and for magnetic
susceptibility anisotropy data), a demagnetization data table, and a
natural remanent magnetization intensity histogram. Analysis types
include principal component analysis, Fisherian statistics, and
great-circle path intersections. The results of calculations can be
exported as CSV (comma-separated value) files; graphs can be printed, and
can also be saved as publication-quality vector files in SVG or PDF
format. PuffinPlot is free, and the program, user manual, and fully
documented source code may be downloaded from
