What is a "keyword"?

A keyword is a word or set of words that is used:

• In a Lithology datasheet to describe a lithologic interval. The program uses the keyword to associate the lithology with a particular pattern, which will be plotted in a Lithology Pattern column on the log. The keyword text and/or additional descriptive text can be plotted in a Lithology Description column on the log.
• In a Percent datasheet to describe multiple lithology intervals, for pattern representation in a Pattern Percent column.
• In a Well-Column datasheet to describe construction materials, for pattern representation in a Well Construction column.
• In a Fill Bar datasheet to describe any depth interval, for pattern display in a Fill Bar column.

The association between the keyword and the graphic pattern is done in LogPlot's "Keyword file". You can maintain different Keyword files for different projects.

Can I change or add keywords?

Yes. The Keyword file can be viewed, new keywords created, patterns/colors changed in the Keyword Editor.
