2D Grid Map Options

RockWorks offers the following layer options for two dimensional grid-based maps. A layer will be generated if a check-mark is displayed in its check box. To access the item's setting, click on its tab in the RockWorks program window.

Click on a picture or link below for more information.

Color Intervals: Plot solid color-filled regions representing the distribution of z-values in the study site.
Contour Lines: Plot lines representing the distribution of "z-values" (elevation, geochemistry, etc.) in the study site.
Labeled-Cells: (Available only for grid-based maps.) Draw a grid of lines corresponding to the grid model nodes, and fills the cells with labels for the node values.
Gradient Vectors: (Available only for grid-based maps.) Displays small arrows between grid nodes to represent uphill or downhill gradients.
Background Image: Displays a raster image in the background of the other map layers.
Labeled Axes: Plot border tick marks and coordinates labels, and axis titles.
Map Overlays: Access a suite of point, polyline, borehole, infrastructure, land grid, and polygon map layers, listed below.
Point Symbols: Illustrate sample locations in the datasheet with map symbols and/or labels.
Faults: Illustrate faults with polylines.
Borehole Locations: Illustrate the borehole locations with map symbols and/or labels.
Infrastructure: Create a plan-view map layer of building, road, pipe, and other infrastructure locations read from a text file.
US Public Land Grid: Create a map layer with Range/Township/Section boundaries.
Polygons: Create a map layer with one or more polygons (property boundaries, etc.)
Other 2D Files: Add up to 5 existing Rockplot2D files to your new map or diagram, such as a base map layer on a new contour map.
Peripherals: Add a north arrow, scale bar, logo, title block, legend, and more to your map or diagram.
Triangulation Network: (Available only for Triangulation Contour maps only.) Displays the network of triangles constructed by the program to build the map contours.
