Drawing Multi-Line Profiles

Use the Parallel Profiles options to set up the spacing, distance, titles, and other variables for the parallel profile lines that are available from within the following RockWorks menus:

• Borehole Manager | Striplogs | Multi-Log Profile
• Borehole Manager | Lithology | Profile
• Borehole Manager | Stratigraphy | Profile
• Borehole Manager | I-Data | Profile
• Borehole Manager | T-Data | Profile
• Borehole Manager | P-Data | Profile
• Borehole Manager | Fractures | Profile
• Borehole Manager | Aquifers | Profile
• Borehole Manager | Colors | Profile
• ModOps | Grid | Profile
• ModOps | Solid | Profile
  
  

Menu Options

• Parallel Profiles
  This is the option you'll see in the Profile options window. Insert a check here to create the automatic profiles.
  Click on this tab to access the settings.
  • Layout
    • Offset direction (degrees): This refers to the angle, relative to the profile line, at which the successive profile lines are drawn (-360 to 360 degrees). Typically you'll enter "90" for auto-profiles which are perpendicular (90 degrees clockwise) to the original line, or -90 for auto-profiles offset 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the original line.
    • Spacing: Refers to the distance between each of the profile lines. The distance is measured in your current map units.
    • Maximum distance: Refers to the maximum distance in which the auto-profile lines will be created.

      The example here shows how these settings relate to the drawing of a profile line in the Profile Location tab.

    
    

  • Output Options
    • Override Automatic Title: Insert a check here if the individual profiles are to have series-specific names.
      • Primary Title: refers to the first word in the title of each profile (such as "Profile" in the example below).
      • Profile Number Prefix: refers to the prefix to the profile number (i.e. A, B, C, etc).
      • First Profile Index Number: refers to the number assigned to the first profile, in which each successive profile's number will increment accordingly.
    • Vertical Offset (% of Diagram Height): This setting controls the spacing of the combined profile diagrams. The default setting is 110, meaning sequential diagrams will be placed below each other, with a 10% margin.
    • Generate Individual Diagrams: The program will assume that you want the profiles combined into a single image. If this is not the case, then insert a check in this box so that each profile will be generated individually, in separate RockPlot2D windows.
