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.
