Log Body Introduction

The "body" of the log is where the downhole data will be displayed, such as lithology, measurements, water levels, etc. Although the log body is a fixed length in the Log Designer, its vertical length on the compiled (graphic) log can be varied by the user by setting a desired vertical scale.

Within the Log Designer work screen, the log body pane is completely separate from the headers and footers, and has a different set of design buttons.

When you create a new log design (Log Designer | File | New), the program will display a blank design screen. You may then insert a log body item by clicking the appropriate toolbar button and placing the component in the log body section. You may use the displayed ruler for placement reference.

When you open an existing log design (Log Designer | File | Open or File | Import LogPlot7), the log body items will be displayed in the design pane.

Use the Visible Sections check-box to turn on/off the display of the log body design pane.

! Items in the log header or footer cannot be moved into the log body and vice-versa.
