We present here new codes that we have developed. These are stand alone for now but in the future could be part of ISOLA.

H-C plot method

The hcplot Matlab GUI, an aid for visualization of the H-C method. To encourage a broader use of the H-C method, we provide a simple GUI in Matlab (hcplot) to quickly produce the 3D animated plot of the hypocenter, centroid and nodal planes. The code is self-explanatory, easy to use on an intuitive basis. It is possible to produce also a movie for presentation purposes, independently of the Matlab environment. The attached example of the movie (leonidio.mpg) is related to the investigated Leonidio earthquake on January 6, 2008.
