This example illustrates how Interval Text can be displayed as labels across depth intervals in the log body.
Introduction

How to enter Interval Text
Use: The LogPlot Interval Text datasheet is used to list depth intervals and one or more columns of alphanumeric data to be plotted as text in an Interval Text Column. An Interval Text datasheet can have a single column of values or multiple columns. You can have more than one Interval Text datasheet in a data file.
Alternative datasheets:
For textual data measured at depth points rather than depth intervals, see the Point Text datasheet.
For numeric data measured over depth intervals, see the Interval Data datasheet.Corresponding log design component: Text items listed in this datasheet will be plotted on the log as text labels in Interval Text columns.
Corresponding RockWorks data table: I-Text
Right-Click Options: When you right-click in any of the Interval Text cells, you have the following options:
Cut, Copy, Paste Insert/Append/Delete Rows Manipulate Columns Edit Data Page Name Add/Delete/Rename Columns Edit Columns and Groups Delete Data Page Move
This example illustrates how Interval Text can be displayed as labels across depth intervals in the log body.
Automatic:
If there are already Interval Text column(s) in the current log design to which you willl be linking the data, you can use the Data | Update Data File from Log Design menu option to insert one or more Interval Text datasheets in the current data file. The column names in the datasheet(s) will match the column names in the log design. The grouping of the columns in single/multiple datasheets will depend on the group assignments in the log design.
Manual:
You can also use the Data | New Data Page | Interval Text menu option to manually insert a new datasheet.
Group Name: Type in the name to assign to the datasheet's tab or group. If you leave this blank, it will default to the Name you assign to the first text column, below.
New Name: Type in the name to assign to the first value/text column in the datasheet. Because Interval Text datasheets can have multiple columns, LogPlot uses the column names to match data to the items in the log design.
Click OK.
The program will add to the data file an Interval Text datasheet labeled with the selected Group Name and with three blank columns: Top and Base for depths, and a column with the Name you defined.
Top, Base: In these columns enter the depth at the top and base of the intervals at which the measurements were taken.
Shortcut: Right-click on any cell in the datasheet and select Fill Interval Column to fill the columns with regular depth increments.
Columns 3 +: These columns are where you can list the sample ID's, or other notes recorded at the listed depth intervals.
The Column Names
The names displayed as column headers within the Interval Text datasheet are used to match the data to particular Interval Text column in the log design. For example, the data in the "Color" column will be plotted in the Interval Text column named "Color" in the log's design, and the data in the "Sample ID" column will be plotted in the "Sample ID" Interval Text column in the log design.
Shortcut: Use the right-click options to add/rename/delete columns.
The Data Listing
To enter the actual data into the data page cells, you can use the <Tab> key to advance from cell to cell, and from the end of one row to the beginning of the next.
If there is no data for a depth interval, you may leave the interval blank. That text label will simply be omitted from the log.
Shortcut: If you already have this data in a tabular format in another application, you can copy the data there and then paste it into this datasheet using the Edit | Paste command.
