Graphic Logs

Click the Log | Create Log | Graphic command to create a graphic log. The graphic log allows you to specify and show images of rocks, minerals, etc. at appropriate intervals. This is useful in displaying photos of the core, rock type, alteration, etc.

 

Graphic logs use images to

display log data. You can use

any image to represent each layer.

 

Data Requirements

Graphic logs use interval data tables. In the data table, there are four required columns. The required columns are Hole ID, From, To, and the data column being displayed. The data column should contain the full path and file name for the image file being displayed in the interval. Use Table | Get Image File Name command to browse for image files and insert the path and file name into the graphic name field. Alternatively, you can manually type the file name and path into a cell, for example:

c:\temp\granite.jpg

 

The Hole ID, From, To, and one column of data containing the full path and file name

for the image being displayed are required for a graphic log.
