Description:
OLE is the acronym for Object Linking and Embedding. OLE is an application
integration technology that can be used to share information between OLE
compatible applications. In WellCAD, embedded and linked OLE objects (such as
photographs, EXCEL charts, WORD documents) are handled by the OLE Log.
The data consists of individual OLE objects each with a top and bottom depth.
Since WellCAD version 4.2 the OLE Log can also be used to display pictures (e.g.
JPEG) as Non-OLE objects. Compared to the RGB Log the OLE Log consumes
fewer resources when handling large quantities of data. A picture is not converted
into RGB intensity values but is stored in its original size. The user can set the
default behavior of the OLE Log in the Default Settings.
Data can be inserted manually or loaded from ASCII files. E.g. to import a series of
core photographs simply import an ASCII file providing top and bottom depth and
the path to the picture file as OLE Log.
Data Format:
TopDepth, BottomDepth, OleObject
E.g.
Display Styles:
OLE Log showing an embedded EXCEL sheet and a thin section picture.
