Fry method enables rapid estimate of finite strain from deformed aggregates such as clastic grains, fossil colonies, oolitic or pisolitic aggregates, prophyroblastic minerals or phenocrysts. It has an advantage over the other methods of finite strain analysis in its very quality of enabling rapid estimation with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Details of the software to prepare a plot using Fry method are outlined. This program has an advantage over other computer based programs on the world wide web in its aesthetic getup, small size, user friendliness and a help file.
The program is a freeware and can be downloaded by following the links on a software website http://www.alstructural-geology-software.com.FryPlotSetup.zip or http://www.al-structural-geology-software.com/FryProg/FryPlotProgSetup.exe
