HELP: Texture/Lithology Data Entry Panel

NOTE: The best way to enter the individual tracks is to enter your description of the bed in the Remarks / Notes / Comments Data Entry Dialog and build a list of bed descriptions and then select the "Compute other data entry data types from Remarks" button.

This will allow the program to automatically use the geological description lookup xml files to parse your text into the rock image tracks. This basically saves time and effort, instead of entering each track separately.

The web page Parsing Rock Image Tracks from Remarks Text for Texture/Lithology Plot Track will explain the basic logic for parsing the Remarks Text into the Texture/Lithology.

The Texture/Lithology Data Entry Dialog allows the user to change the Texture text, energy level, Texture Type and the Texture Symbol that is plotted on the Texture/Litholgy Plot Track.

NOTE: When saving your profile data to the LAS 3.0 File. If you modify any bed texture data in the texture / lithology data entry list, then you must select "No" when the "Save Raw Data Only" Query Window is displayed, otherwise you will lose your changes.

The user can decide the mineral/rock composition of a specific bed and select from the List of Texture/Lithology Symbols/Colors to represent the bed composition.
