Strater User Interface

Strater contains four document window types: borehole view, map view, cross section, and table windows. Borehole views display various log types. Map views display post and base maps that can be used to identify where individual wells are located. Cross sections are created and edited in the cross section view. The data is opened, edited, and transformed, and saved in the table windows.

Property Manager

The Property Manager allows you to edit any of the properties of the selected object. When no objects are selected in the borehole view or cross section, the general properties for the window are displayed.

View window

The view window is the area where the selected borehole view, map view, cross section, or table is displayed.
