Use the Striplog Symbols check-box to plot graphic symbols in the body of the log, to note water levels, drill tests or similar items. The depths and symbols are read from the Symbol table in the Borehole Manager database. When you click on the Symbols item in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right.
- Column Attributes
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the Symbol column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Column Radius: The radius of the Symbol 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
- 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 Symbol 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.
- Distance: This represents the distance of the Symbol column center from the log axis (center), expressed as a percent of the output dimensions. As you reposition the 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.
! You can place the Symbol column on top of another column, such as Well Construction, as shown in the example above.
- Plot Captions: Check this option to display any text entered into the datasheets as symbol captions.
- Miscellaneous Options for settings that establish the font size and offset for the column title and caption labels.
