The Stratigraphy Legend tab is used to include in the 3D diagram a legend to the formation names and colors as listed in the project's Stratigraphy Types Table.
! Note that the colors used in 3D logs, fence panels, and models are the background colors defined for the stratigraphic formations. The patterns themselves will not be displayed in these 3D diagrams.
! Most of these legend settings can be changed once the legend is displayed in the RockPlot3D window.
- Position: Defines placement of the legend on the left or right side of the 3D diagram.
- Size: This is a scale factor that can be used to make the legend larger or smaller. We recommend that you set the Size to 1.0 and then adjust the size if necessary once the diagram is displayed in the RockPlot3D window. A Size of 2.0 would make the legend twice as big as normal; a Size of 0.6 would make the legend 60% as large as normal.
- Offset: Offers a vertical and horizontal offset for the legend.
-
- Horizontal: Enter the horizontal offset for the legend. An entry of "0" will position the legend close to the diagram. A setting of "0.1" will bump the legend slightly outward. A setting of "-0.1" will move the legend slightly inward. You shouldn't set the offset to more than "0.4" or it will be placed off the screen.
- Vertical: Enter the vertical offset for the legend. An entry of "0" will position the legend close to the midline of the diagram. A setting of "0.1" will bump the legend slightly upward. A setting of "-0.1" will bump the legend slightly downward. You shouldn't set the offset to outside the "-1" to "1" range, or the legend will be placed off the screen.
- ! Because you can adjust the positioning of the legend within the RockPlot3D window, we generally recommend that you leave the offsets at "0" and then adjust the offset if necessary once the diagram is created and displayed in the RockPlot3D window.
- Font: Click on this item to set the font style, size, color, and angle for the labels in the legend.
