WellCAD allows the display of log data in different units. The most common ones
are meter and feet, but also second, millisecond and date/time can be handled.
To toggle the depth axis from meter to feet simply select the new unit from the drop
down list.
The Reverse option allows displaying an elevation axis instead of a depth axis.
Usually depth is counted positive downwards. With the Reverse option checked the
depth is counted and displayed negative downwards. If the option is checked this
will also effect the depth handling in all other parts of WellCAD (Tabular Editor,
Status Bar, data export and import, …).
The number of digits displayed for each depth string in the depth axis can be set in
the Decimal places edit box. A maximum of 5 digits can be displayed, which
corresponds to one-millimeter accuracy if the depth unit meter has been selected or
1/1000 of a foot if feet have been chosen.
