| # HELP: Cross Section

The cross section requires the user to do their own memory management in building the cross section plot. For each cross section the user must decide how many wells/locations and thier respective depth ranges will fit in one plot. The memory size is dependant on the user's own PC. This applet will allow from 1 to 4 wells or measured sections on one cross section plot.

There are a number of steps in building a cross section:

- Quick Cross Section Work Flow.
  1. Select the "New Well" Button to load data for each well/location into cross section.
     - Maximum of 4 wells/locations allowed for plotting a cross section.
     - Minimum of 1 well/location can be plotted in the cross section plot.
     - For Each Well loaded
       - Verify that the well/location has a Latitude, Longitude and Elevation.
       - If any Latitude, Longitude and Elevation is missing then
         - Select the "Modify" Button to enter the missing data, either manually or by using the "Search KGS Database for Well Header Information" Button to search the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) database for existing well header information.
  2. For more than 2 wells/locations select the "Map" Button to verify the order is correct.
     - If a well/location is out of order then
       - Highlight the well/location in question.
       - Select the "Up" or "Down" Buttons to change the order of the well, verify with Map Image Dialog
  3. Select the "Cross Section" Button.

Select a button from the following list to view Help pages.
| ## Cross Section Panel Description
| ### Buttons
|  | New Well | Import Wells/Measured Sections data to the Cross Section. This button opens a dialog that allows the user to load multiple data types from multiple sources, i.e. the ASCII Delimited Data Files on your PC and the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) Database & File Server. As the ASCII files are read in, the filenames are inserted into the text fields to give the user a positive feed back.
| ## * | Remove | This button allows the user to highlight a well/measured section and remove it from the well list along with their imported data.
| ## * | Remove All | This button allows the user to remove all of the wells/measured sections from the well list along with their imported data.
|  | Modify | This button allows the user to modify the well header information for the displayed well/measured section, specifically the Latitude, Longitude, Elevation and Well Status, which allows the well to be plotted on the Well Map Image. All well header information can be changed, but the XYZ location of the well is important.
|  | Up and Down | This section will show how to change the order of the Wells in the "Cross Section Well" List using the "Up" and "Down" Buttons to the right of the list.
| ### Plot Buttons
|  | Map | This button allows the user to plot the selected wells on a latitude/longitude grid.
|  | Cross Section | This button will create a cross section with the well/measured section data downloaded in the order presented in the well list table.
| ### Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
|  | PNG of Map Image | Create a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Image of Cross Section Map. This process creates the PNG Image and launches a web page with a link that allows the user to launch the Portable Document Format (PDF) Applet that will create a PDF Document of Cross Section Map.
| ## Cross Section Plot Control Description
| ### Global Cross Section Plot Actions
|  | Change Depth Scale | Change the Depth Scale of the Cross Section Plot, which allows the user to expand a section to view in more detail.
|  | Change Depth Range | Change the Depth Range of the Cross Seciton Plot to filter the depth information.
| ### Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
|  | PNG of Cross Section Image | Create a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Image of Cross Section Plot. This process creates the PNG Image and launches a web page with a link that allows the user to launch the Portable Document Format (PDF) Applet that will create a PDF Document of Cross Section Plot.
| ### Individual Well/Measured Section Specific Plot Actions
| ### - Plot Track Type Panel
|  | Default Radio Button | Automatically set the cross section plot tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data, Horizons (Tops) Data and Geologist Description (Rock) Data
|  | Log/Colorlith Radio Button | Automatically set the cross section plot tracks to Log and Colorlith plot track configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data, and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Log Only Radio Button | Automatically set the cross section plot tracks to Log Only plot track configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data, and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Georeport Radio Button | Automatically set the cross section plot tracks to a Rock Data type configuration, i.e., Horizons (Tops) Data and Geologist Description (Rock) Data
| ### - Log Data Type Panel
|  | Litho/PHI Radio Button | Automatically set the Digital LAS File Curve Data tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data - Litho-Density Tracks and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Resistivity Radio Button | Automatically set the Digital LAS File Curve Data tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data - Resistivity Tracks and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Sonic Radio Button | Automatically set the Digital LAS File Curve Data tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data - Sonic Tracks and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Spectral GR Radio Button | Automatically set the Digital LAS File Curve Data tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data - Spectral Gamma Ray Tracks and Horizons (Tops) Data
|  | Gamma Ray Radio Button | Automatically set the Digital LAS File Curve Data tracks to a default configuration, i.e., Digital LAS File (Log) Curve Data - Gamma Ray Tracks and Horizons (Tops) Data
