Use the Striplog Symbols check-box to plot plot graphic symbols in the body of the log, to note water levels, drill tests or similar items. Insert a check in the Symbols Text check-box to plot any listed symbol captions. The depths and symbols are read from the RockWorks Borehole Manager's Symbol data table. When you click on the Symbols or Symbols Text items in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right. Note that you can activate the symbol column and text column independently.
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the symbol column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space.
- ! Tip: To make the symbol column overlay the column to the left, such as the well construction diagram in the above image, set the Left Margin to a negative value that's half the combined widths of the two columns. For example, if the Well Construction column width is 1.5 and the adjacent Symbol Column width is 1.0, you can set the Symbol Column's Left Margin to -1.25 to plot the symbols centered in the Well Construction column.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the symbol column, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. The symbols themselves will be scaled at 1/2 the column width.
- 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.
- Font: This establishes the size for the title as a percent of the output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters.
- Vertical Offset: Determines how far above the column the title will be plotted. If you expect to apply vertical exaggeration of 5x or more to your log or section, you might consider a value of 0.
- Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Column Layout
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the symbol text column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the symbol text column, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Note that you may have to adjust this if your symbol captions are lengthy.
! Text does not wrap within this column - it's designed for short labels.
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the symbol text column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Font: This establishes the size for the text title as a percent of the output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters.
- Vertical Offset: Determines how far above the column the title will be plotted. If you expect to apply vertical exaggeration of 5x or more to your log or section, you might consider a value of 0.
- Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Interval Labeling
- Font: Establishes the size for the symbol captions as a percent of the output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters.
- Leader Lines: Insert a check in this box to include a line between the caption(s) and the middle of the symbol(s). Expand this heading to select line style and color.
