Use the Striplog P-Text check-box(es) to activate alphanumeric text label columns in the log. The data is read from the RockWorks Borehole Manager's P-Text data table. Text can wrap within the column.
When you click on the P-Text items in the Visible Items pane or the Layout Preview window you’ll see the following settings in the Options pane to the lower-right. You can plot up to 4 P-Text columns on your log.

P-Text Column Options
- Track: Use this setting to tell the program which track of data in the P-Text datasheets you wish to plot for the selected log column (#1, #2, #3, #4). When you click on this item, the program will display the current list of track names; click on a name to make a selection. Each P-Text column you activate can read from a different track.
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the 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 = 0.0.
! Entering a negative Left Margin value will position the column overlapping the column to the left.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the text column on the log, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Default = 1. Note that you may have to adjust this if you activate a number of the text fields, below.
! Text can wrap within this column, but beware that if you have lengthy entries and your column is narrow, the text intervals may overlap vertically.
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the text 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.
- Angle: Use the font angle setting to adjust the title (and min/max label) angle. Horizontal = "90" Angled = "45" Vertical = "0"
- 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: Activate this to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Depths: If checked, the depth for each text entry will be included.
- Decimal Places: Determines the number of decimal places in the depth labels.
- Font: Establishes the size for the text as a percent of the project output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters. Default = 0.2
- 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 around the text blocks. (In the example at the top of this topic, the Column Perimeter is activated, but the Borders are not.
