Insert a check in the Striplog Lithology check-box to plot lithologic patterns in the log and/or the Lithology Text check-box to plot description information. The downhole lithology is read from the RockWorks Borehole Manager's Lithology table. When you click on the Lithology or Lithology Text items in the Visible Items pane or in the Layout Preview window you’ll see the following settings in the Options pane to the lower-right. Note that you can activate the patterns and text independently.
Lithology Pattern Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the lithology pattern column and the item to its left, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space. Default = 0.1.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the lithology pattern column, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Default = 0.4.
- Column Title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the lithology pattern column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Font: This establishes the size for the lithology title as a percent of the project 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.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Hide Pattern Borders: Insert a check here to remove the solid line borders from the pattern blocks.
Lithology Text Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the lithology text column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space. Default = 0.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the lithology text column, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Note that you may have to adjust this if you activate a number of the text fields, below. Default = 3.0.
! Text can wrap within this column, but beware that if you have lengthy descriptions and your column is narrow, the text intervals may overlap.
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the lithology text column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Font: This establishes the size for the lithology text title as a percent of the project 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.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a perimeter line; expand the heading to select the border lline style and color.
- Depths: If checked, the lithology interval depths will be included.
- Thicknesses: Plots the lithology interval's thickness on the log. Thickness is computed from the depth intervals listed in the Lithology datasheets. These values represent drilled (observed) thickness, not necessarily true thickness if the boring is inclined or deviated.
- Keywords: Plots the lithology keywords (listed in the "Keyword" column in the Borehole Manager’s Lithology datasheets, and in the Lithology Types Table).
- Comments: Plots any lithology comments on the log. Be warned that although the lithology text can wrap within the column, it's sometimes best to leave the Borders option, below, off if you choose to include lengthy text. It's also a good idea to set the font to a small size.
- Font: Establishes the size for the lithology text as a percent of the project output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters. Default = 0.5.
- Fill Interval: Insert a check here if you want the background of the text column to be opaque. (This can be helpful when the logs overlie an interpolated panel, for example.) Expand this heading to select the Fill Color.
- Borders: Insert a check here if you want to include solid line borders between the lithology text intervals.
- Vertical Text Position: Expand this heading to select whether the text is to be placed at the top of the interval or the center.
