Data presentation
- Display of curves, patterns (e.g. lithology), symbols (e.g. fossils), text, formation marker, hierarchical stratigraphic columns, image data (e.g. FMI, ATV, OTV), photographs, operational symbols (e.g. DSTs, RFTs, Mud Data, Survey Data, etc.), …
- An unlimited number of data containers, of which 28 different types exist to host single point (continuous and discontinuous), interval or array data, can be freely positioned on the workspace and combined for complex WYSIWYG plot formatting.
- Audit trail for each data container and processing step (i.e. Log History).
- No restriction to number of tracks or number of curves to be plotted or superimposed.
- Comprehensive sets of formatting styles are available for each data container type – pen type, pen thickness, pen color, fonts, shading, curve style (e.g. point-to-point, step or bar) and many more.
- Scale and appearance of vertical grids can be customized using individual classification schemes (e.g. Wenthworth scale, Phi scale).
- Depth may be referenced to MD, TVD, TVDSS or any other depth (or date & time) system due to capabilities of non linear depth matching. Support of depth and elevation display.
- Libraries of customizable and scaleable patterns and symbols (e.g. lithology, physical structure, fossils, pore types, …) are provided. The freely distributed LithCAD application allows design and import of new patterns and symbols.
Dips Workspace (Polar/Rose/Stereonet)
