Borehole Display Options

The display options for boreholes can be set by selecting the Display Options command from the Display menu. This brings up the Borehole Display Options dialog. The items in the dialog are as follows:

    1. Borehole edges

      This option controls the display of the lines that show the outline of the boreholes.

    2. Color

      3 options are available for the borehole edges:

      1. Auto- draws the material color if faces are not displayed. Uses black or white if the faces are displayed.

      2. Specified- used the color specified next to the borehole edges

      3. Material- displays the material color of the borehole segment

    3. Borehole faces

      If this option is on then the borehole segments are displayed are filled polygons.

    4. Diameter

      This value determines the display size of the boreholes in the graphics window.

    5. Num. slices

      This edit field determines the number of slices to display the borehole.  The default is 6 making the boreholes display as hexagons.

    6. Hole names

      If the Hole names box is checked, the name of each hole is displayed at the top of the hole.

    7. Water table symbol

      If the Water table box is checked, an icon representing the water table is displayed at the water table elevation of each borehole.

    8. Horizon IDs

      The horizon ids toggle controls the display of the horizon id next to each borehole contact.

    9. Cross section edges

      This option controls the display of the lines that show the outline of the cross sections.

    10. Color

      3 options are available for the cross section edges:

      1. Auto- draws the material color if faces are not displayed. Uses black or white if the faces are displayed.

      2. Specified- used the color specified next to the cross section edges

      3. Material- displays the material color of the stratigraphic unit in the cross section

    11. Cross section faces

      If this option is on then the borehole segments are displayed are filled polygons.

    12. Material display

      This radio group determines the display color of the boreholes. The borehole segments can be colored either by the Soil or HGU assigned.  

    1. Points

      If the Points box is checked, every sample data point is displayed. If the Use color ramp box is checked, the points are colored according to the current data set and the current color ramp settings.

    2. Lines

      If the Lines box is checked, the sample points are connected by a series of line segments. If the Use color ramp box is checked, the line segments are colored according to the current data set and the current color ramp settings.

    3. Data Plots

      If the Data plots box is checked, a plot of the current data set is drawn next to each borehole with sample data. The width (horizontal length) can be adjusted and the options associated with the plot scale, plot axes, etc., can be accessed by selecting the Plot Options button.

    4. Data Range

      By default, the minimum color on the color ramp is associated with the minimum data set value and the maximum color is associated with the maximum data set value. The ramp of colors can be confined to a smaller interval defined by the Maximum and Minimum values. This forces all of the color gradation to be concentrated in a particular range of interest.
