Use the Striplog Patterns check-box to plot color-filled cylinders in the body of the log, to illustrate simple construction materials, sample intervals, etc. The depth intervals and colors are read from the Patterns table in the RockWorks Borehole Manager database. When you click on the Patterns item in the Visible Items listing you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right.
! Note that the intervals are represented in the 3D log cylinders with colors only, no patterns. The colors that are used are those selected as the background color in the Pattern datasheets. (OpenGL does not support the display of lithology patterns in 3D.)
Menu Options
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the Pattern column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Offset Direction: This reflects the position of the column, relative to the log axis (center), with 0 = north, 180 = south, and so on. As you click and drag the Pattern column in the Layout Preview pane (top), this value will be updated. Conversely, if you edit the azimuth direction in this prompt, the Preview will be updated.
- Offset Distance: This represents the distance of the Pattern column center from the log axis (center), expressed as a percent of the output dimensions. As you reposition the column in the Layout Preview pane at the top of the screen, this value will be updated. And, as you edit the offset distance here, the Preview will be updated.
- Column Radius: The radius of the Pattern column is established as a percent of the output dimensions. As you click and drag to resize a column in the Layout Preview at the top of the window, this setting will be updated. If you edit the radius via this prompt, the size of the column in the Preview will be updated.
- Plot Captions: Insert a check here to display any text entered into the datasheets as pattern captions.
See also Miscellaneous Options for settings that establish the font size and offset for the column title and caption labels.
