Abstract With a view towards the characterization of microstructural anisotropy of fibrous materials, we have shown that the mean intercept figure for a planarN-net system of straight lines is a convex 2N-sided polygon. A very simple method of constructing the mean intercept figure for a planarN-net system is presented. It is shown, by example, that there is an inversion process by which one may construct a planarN-net system from its mean intercept polygon. The significance of these results with respect to the characterization of microstructural anisotropy of fibrous materials is discussed.
