Robbie, I would encourage you to read the UNAVCO documentation for your most recent concerns. https://www.unavco.org/software/visualization/idv/IDV_for_GEON_howto.html You may also wish to contact UNAVCO for additional questions. Best, Unidata IDV Support > The beach balls that are used to plot the seismic events in the plugin.
