Incorrect Lithologic Patterns

If you see incorrect lithologic patterns displayed in the Lithology Pattern, Pattern Percent, or Fillbar columns on the log body, check that you have the correct keyword file and pattern file specified in Options | System Files. LogPlot needs to know which library of keywords and patterns to use when making the match between your data keywords and the graphic patterns to be plotted in the log.

If you see incorrect lithologic patterns displayed in the header/footer pattern blocks, then the program is probably using the wrong pattern file. Since these pattern blocks are not tied to keywords and are inserted right into the log design, they specify a pattern index number only. If the pattern file is not embedded in the LPT file and if you are using a different pattern library than the person who created the log design, that index number might display a different graphic pattern. For this reason, it's a good idea to compile by embedding the pattern file. Or, just be sure to note in the comment area of the data file's Setup tab the correct pattern file name to use with the data file and its design.
