Chart Templates
Folder containing
Chart Templates
charts is stored. You save a Chart Template using the View > Save Chart
Template option with your cross-plot window being active.
Chart Templates store data series (log title and type but no data) and the entire
layout including title, legends and annotations. Cluster and regressions are part of
the *.CHT file as well.
Chart Templates can not be applied to an existing chart as opposed to applying a
document template to an existing borehole document. The intended way to use the
Chart Template is to create a new cross-plot chart from it. To do so:
� Open the Borehole Document (*.WCL file) containing the source data.
� Open the cross-plot tool using Tools > Crossplot or clicking the
icon.
� In the Chart Settings dialog box use the Browse button to locate the
folder containing your Chart Template. Select the desired template from
the list afterwards. (If your *.WCL file contains already a cross-plot, select
the New option in the dialog box that opens to get the Chart Settings
displayed.)
Selecting a template in the first step of the Chart Settings
� When clicking Next WellCAD will try to establish a link to the logs of the
Borehole Document and load data into the cross-plot based on the data
series information (log title and log type) stored in the Chart Template.
