Insert a check in the Striplog Lithology check-box to display downhole lithology intervals, entered in the Lithology table in the RockWorks Borehole Manager database, as blocks of color. When you click on the Lithology item in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right.
! Note that lithology is represented in the 3D log cylinders with colors only, no patterns. The colors that are used are those selected as the background color in the Lithology Types Table. (OpenGL does not support the display of lithology patterns in 3D.)
- Column Attributes
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the lithology column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Column Radius: The radius of the lithology column is established as a percent of the output dimensions. As you click and drag to resize a column in the Layout Preview at the top of the window, this setting will be updated. If you edit the radius via this prompt, the size of the column in the Preview will be updated.
- Column Offset
- Offset Direction: This reflects the position of the column, relative to the log axis (center), with 0 = north, 180 = south, and so on. As you click and drag the lithology column in the Layout Preview pane (top), this value will be updated. Conversely, if you edit the azimuth direction in this prompt, the Preview will be updated.
- Offset Distance: This represents the distance of the lithology column center from the log axis (center), expressed as a percent of the output dimensions. As you reposition the lithology column in the Layout Preview pane at the top of the screen, this value will be updated. And, as you edit the offset distance here, the Preview will be updated.
- Label Intervals: Insert a check here to display the lithology keywords and/or comments.
- Include Keywords: Check this box to display the lithology "keywords" - those defined in the Types table.
- Include Comments: Check this box to include text entered in the Lithology Comments field. Note that the text will not wrap, so plotting of only short comments are recommended.
-
- Show Contacts: Insert a check here if you wish to plot disks in the lithology column representing the material contacts. This can be helpful to distinguish intervals with similar colors.
- Color: Click here to define a color for the contact disks.
- Radius: Enter the radius for the disks as a percent of the output dimensions. You'll typically make this larger than the lithology column radius, above.
- Thickness: Enter the thickness for the disks.
- Show Upper Contact: Check this box to display disks for the upper contact of each lithology interval.
- Show Lower Contact: Check this box to display disks for the lower contact of each lithology interval (see example below).
-
- Miscellaneous Options for settings that establish the font size and offset for the column title and keyword & description labels.
