Abstract
In the present study, a new type of fractal plot had been developed based on the fractal nature of lineaments. This plot displays the effect of varying the counting cell dimension on two counted aspects, which are the total frequency of segmented lineaments and the total lineament to cell intersections. The two candidate lines on the plot intersect at a point which defines the optimal cell dimension (OCD) necessary for preparing an optimized lineament density map. The striking relationship observed between the mean lineament length (MLL) and the OCD is fitted to a linear model for calculating the OCD in terms of the MLL with no further need for any fractal plot. Lineaments from different models and live data both confirmed these new findings. Thus, the behaviour of live lineaments had been properly simulated.
