"""
Example of how `ax.scatter` can be used to plot linear data on a stereonet
varying color and/or size by other variables.

This also serves as a general example of how to convert orientation data into
the coordinate system that the stereonet plot uses so that generic matplotlib
plotting methods may be used.

strikes = np.arange(0, 360, 15)

# Convert our strikes and dips to stereonet coordinates
