Log Plot Viewer

Project Files Management

Format of LogView++ is *.pro++. It should contain all files loaded into project
including ASCI File (las format), template, and Plot File.

ASCI File

Supported asci format is Las 2.0. It has column with name of column each.
Using LogView++ las data manipulation can be conducted are:

Generate partial log

Partial log means a part of log specified by selected column and depth.

Log Calculation

Log calculation can be establish by using common formula (as like

excel, openoffice etc) using existing log column.
Default functions already supported by the formula parser are:
Nam
e
sin
cos
tan
asin
acos
atan
sinh
cosh
tanh

acosh

atanh
log10

All column in las file will be presented by variable of X1, X2, X, Xn.

Example:

- single line formula:

if(X0>1000 & X1!=-999.25, X1/100, -999.25)
-----------------------------------------it should clearly explained.. :)

- multi line formula:

A:=X0;
B:=X1:
C:=A+B;
C
-----------------------------------------first and second line, we make new sub variable called A & B.
third line, C is derived from A & B
last line, C is return as final result.
We can also write as follows...
-----------------------------------------A:=X0;
B:=X1:
A+B
-----------------------------------------those 2 example will give same result & same meaning actualy.. :)

Template

The hierarchy of logview++ template should be looks like this diagram.

Template should contain at least 1 track. T

contain 1 curve. Track may also contain A
will have Grid X and Grid Y.

Each of items has different kind of proper

edited simply by double-clicking item in
template (see user interface overview t
editor).

Main Template properties:

Explanation
Horizontal Position of plot. Left most position is zero (0)
Vertical Position of plot. Top most position is zero (0)
Name of column in Las File that represent "Depth" used as Y axis on e
(curve & area)
Scale of log (Y axis only). Larger scale means log size is shorter.

Explanation
Name of curve as left border of area. Use $LEFT_BORDER to use left
border, or $RIGHT_BORDER to use right outer track border.

Log Plotting

After Las File and Template are ready, Log plotting can be simply conducted by
selecting las and template to be plotted.
The plot result can be directly exported to Image file (format JPEG, BMP or PNG).
