Use the Striplog Patterns check-box to plot plot pattern-filled bars in the body of the log, to illustrate simple construction materials, sample intervals, etc. Insert a check in the Patterns Text check-box to plot any listed pattern captions. The depth intervals are read from the RockWorks Borehole Manager's Patterns data table. When you click on the Patterns or Patterns Text items in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right. Note that you can activate the pattern column and text column independently.
Pattern Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the pattern column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space. Default = 0.1.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the pattern column, as a percent of the 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 special pattern 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.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
Pattern Text Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the pattern 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 pattern 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 you activate a number of the text fields, below. Default = 1.0.
! 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 pattern 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.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Font: Establishes the size for the pattern text as a percent of the output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters. Default = 0.5
- Plot Borders: Insert a check here if you want to include solid line borders around the pattern text intervals. Be warned that any long names may extend outside a too-narrow column. If this happens, increase the column size and/or decrease the font size, above.
