Summary. Working graphs are presented which, when used in conjunction with a stereographic projection, enable (a) magnitude and direction of the difference between two vectors to be estimated, and (b) a vector to be resolved into two or three components of prescribed directions. Applications of the methods to multicomponent natural remanent magnetizations are illustrated.
