A graphical method to determine the finite strain ellipse from deformed polygons of similar size is presented. This technique has been developed on sections normal to columnar joints of igneous rocks, but it can also be applied to any feature in which the corresponding unstrained polygons have their vertices located on a circumscribed circle. © 1986.
