RockWorks | Borehole Operations | P-Data | Histograms by Lithology
Use this program to read the values in a P-Data column and generate a series of frequency histograms that display the distribution of these values for each lithology type recorded downhole for the active boreholes in the project. The diagrams are generated on a single page for quick comparison. You can generate diagrams for all or for selected lithology types. The resulting diagram is displayed in a RockPlot2D pane within the Options window.

- Border
Check this option to include a solid line border around the entire diagram.
Click on this tab to specify the line style, thickness, and color.
- Output Options
- Save Output File: Check this to assign a name for the diagram in advance, rather than displaying it as Untitled.
- Automatic: Choose this option to have RockWorks assign the name automatically. It will use the name of the current program plus a numeric suffix, plus the ".Rw2D" file name extension.
- Manual: Choose this option to type in a name of your own for this file.
- Display Output: Check this option to have the resulting diagram displayed in RockPlot2D once it is created.
- Access the RockWorks Borehole Manager program tab.
- Enable/disable the boreholes to be processed by inserting/removing checks from the boxes next to their names.
- Activate the lithology types to be processed by inserting/removing checks from the Lithology Types table's Plot in Legend check-box. (You can also access the Lithology Types table from within this program's Options window.)
- Select the Borehole Operations | P-Data | Histograms by Lithology menu option.
- Establish the requested program settings, as discussed above.
- Click the Continue button to proceed with report and diagram generation.
RockWorks will read the contents of the input P-Data track for each borehole and determine the corresponding lithology material at each measurement location. For each active lithology material types, it will build a frequency histogram showing the range of the P-Data values. The colors and patterns that are used to plot the histograms are based on the color/pattern assignments that are defined within the Lithology Types Table. These individual graphs will be combined into a composite diagram, displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window.
If you have requested an outlier report, it will be displayed in a text tab in the Options window.
- You can adjust any of the program settings in the main Options tab to the left and then click the Continue button again to regenerate the histogram and the report.
- View / save / manipulate / print / export the image in the RockPlot2D window.
