Strater Log Types
Strater includes 12 popular log types to graphically display your data: zone bar, bar, percentage, graphic, well construction, lithology, post, classed post, complex text, line/symbol, crossplot,
and depth logs. Strater logs give you full control over all log
parameters. You can accept the Strater defaults to automatically
create a log, or select a log and easily customize the log
features in the Property Inspector.
Zone Bar Log
Display a wide variety of logging data with the zone bar log. For instance, zone bars can represent sample intervals, alteration zones, contamination layers, etc. They also provide a mechanism to display simple keyword text objects either with or without background fill. |
  |
Create zone bars to display interval information,
such as formation thicknesses and alteration zones |
Bar Log
Show your data as either a standard bar log or a polarity bar log! A standard bar plots a bar from the data minimum value to the row's data value. The polarity bar plots data based upon zero, so if there is a mix of negative and positive data, bars exist on both sides of the zero line. Effortlessly switch the bar type for bar logs between standard and polarity. |
|
Plot your data using a bar
log! |
Percentage Log
Visually compare the percentages of items in a borehole easily using the percentage log! The percentage log can be used to show different percentages of alteration types, mineralization types, geochemical data, or rock types. The percentage log uses data fields to create a series of blocks (interval data) or polygons (depth data). You can select any number of numerical fields from a specified table. If you select five fields, five different blocks or polygons are created. The data for each row are normalized to 100 percent, so the data in each row's field can be any value. |
|
Show the percentage of multiple components per
sampling interval using the percentage log! |
Graphic Log
Create graphic logs that display images directly on the log. The
graphic log allows you to specify bitmap file names and show the bitmaps
at specified intervals. This is useful in displaying photos of the core,
alteration, rock types, sample intervals, etc.
|
 |
|
Display bitmap images as a log. Graphic logs are
great for showing images versus depth, such as core or thin section
photos.
|
Well Construction Log
The well construction log replicates a well construction
diagram for the log, and is generally used in the environmental industry.
The well construction log shows how the monitoring well or piezometer was
created. This log shows items such as screen, packing material, end caps,
and covers. The well construction log is a visual representation of the
well rather than a detailed engineering drawing to scale. |
 |
Well construction logs display diagrams of
wells |
Lithology Log
Show the various stratigraphic layers in the borehole using the
lithology log. The display can be as simple as a filled block, or the
display can be more elaborate and show weathering patterns and contact
line styles. Lithology logs can show distinct contact line styles and
indent percentages/scales to show weathering profiles. |
 |
Use the lithology log type to display all
your lithologic data! |
Post Log
Post logs are used to display symbol positions and text at
particular depths. The symbols can represent sample locations at depth or
intervals, and in the case of monitoring wells, the depth to water,
contamination, etc. Symbols can be rotated according to data in the data
table. The log also allows placing text at one of five positions relative
to the symbol position |
 |
Post symbols at certain depth locations using a post
log. You can rotate symbols to any angle specified in the data table.
|
Classed Post Log
Classed post logs are used to display symbol positions and text
at particular depths with symbol properties based on numerical values in
the data. Symbols can be rotated according to data in the data table. The
log also allows placing text at one of five positions relative to the
symbol position. |
 |
Classed post logs display a symbol at each depth
location with the symbol properties based upon another field of data. You
can choose to show text labels.
|
Complex Text Log
Complex text logs can be used to show rock descriptions,
alteration descriptions, and any general descriptive text that represents
interval data. The text is generally more than just one or two words; it
is generally a sentence or series of sentences. The long sentences are
wrapped to fit within the bounds specified for the log item. Complex text
logs can have arrows, brackets, or offset ticks to separate the text
fields. Each text block can be individually edited by double clicking on
the text section. |
 |
Display text notes and descriptions easily using
the complex text log. You can change the text
content or the text properties by simply double
clicking over the text.
|
Line/Symbol Logs
Display your depth data as a graph! Line/symbol logs can be
useful for displaying assay values, geophysical parameters, moisture
content, etc. You can wrap line/symbol logs with multiple styles:
truncate, custom wrap, wrap at a 10X scale, or wrap at a 100X scale. |
 |
Line/symbol logs show depth data as a graph.
|
Crossplot Log
See exactly where two curves on a graph intersect using the
crossplot log! |
 |
Crossplots plot two line/symbol logs and highlight
where they cross each other. You can specify the curve line, fill, and
symbol properties for both curves and you can set the fill properties for
the overlapping portion.
|
Depth Logs
Quickly see the depth or elevation of your log using the depth
log as a scale bar. Optionally set your depth logs to show depth or
elevation, or positive or negative values. You can add tick marks, tick
mark labels, and specify the interval between major or minor tick marks. |
 |
Depth logs provide a depth scale for reference. Depth
logs can display depths in feet (above, left), meters (above,
right), inches, centimeters, millimeters, or yards.
