Log display style tab

 

The log display color and style tab defines the appearance of the log trace highlighted on the "Selected Lots" list.  This tab will change slightly with different shading methods.

No Shading

Draws a plain line using the Line Color selected on the lower right corner of the Style tab.

Shade Using Cutoff

Fills in the log curve whenever it is above or below a user-specified cutoff value.  Selecting this option displays the Cutoff tab, which sets the cutoff value and color scheme.

Geocolumn Shading

Fills the curve using a Color bar from a log curve.   Note that geocolumn shading can color the  the selected log trace using values from another log curve. This option can be used to plot a litho-column type display. Proceed to the "GeoColumn tab" to set the geocolumn shading options.

Clip Log At Track Edges

Truncates the log outside the track boundaries when the log is outside the range defined by the left and right scale.

Center Log Trace In Track

Removes the mean value of the displayed log trace resulting in the log plotting in the center of the log track.

Discrete Points

Displays the log as a series of small x's instead of a continuous line.  This is useful for displaying non-wire line data, such as sidewall core porosity values.

Pay Flag Curve

Displays the log curve as a "step" function, which can be very useful when plotting pay flag curves.

Labeled Spikes

Displays the log curve as a series of horizontal lines with optional value labels at the end of the spikes. Spikes begin at the minimum valued side of the track and extend toward the maximum valued side. The label size can be set on the "Misc" tab screen. A size of zero suppresses the labels.

Line Style

Sets the the log curve's pattern.  This can include solid lines, and various combinations of dashes and dots.

Line Width

Sets the line width for the log trace.  Note that the widths of the user-set lines (User 1, User 2, etc) are set on the Petra Program Options' Font/Graphics tab

Line Color

Sets the color of the selected curve.  Note that this box is avalable only when the "No Shading" shading method is selected.
