Enter the title that identifies the log. The title will be displayed in the Title area of
the log handle.
Symbol Dictionary:
The symbols representing the observed features are taken from a previously loaded
library. Each data point of a CoreDesc Log contains a code that refers to a particular
pattern in the library. Library files have the extension .LTH and can be created using
the LithCAD application, which is installed with WellCAD. LTH libraries are also
used in Lithology, Analysis and Percentage Logs to display for example graphical
patterns of lithology, minerals or sedimentary structure. The code that is recorded
and stored as data of the CoreDesc Log, refers to a particular symbol within the
library. A default library is loaded if a new CoreDesc Log is created (see Default
Settings below).
To load a new symbol library
� Click the Change button.
� Use the file open dialog box to browse to the folder containing your
symbol libraries and load the desired file. (WellCAD sample libraries can be
found in the …\WellCAD\Dictionaries folder of the installation
directory.)
WellCAD will search the new library to find a symbol that matches exactly the code
stored as data of the CoreDesc Log. If no corresponding symbol can be found only
the lines representing Abundance and Dominance are displayed.
