Displaying textures in the Well View
By displaying textures in the Well View, you can visualize more detailed information about lithology and facies than only color can do. Apart from the default textures already available, you can also add your own textures to the Texture Catalog.
Displaying textures using the Discrete Property Class Editor
The settings on the Discrete Property Class Editor, opened from the context menu of a discrete log in the JewelExplorer, define the display of the discrete property classes in the Well View. Before you start working in the Well View, make sure these settings are as you want them. You can select to use a color only, or color and texture. If you assign a color and a non transparent texture to a discrete property class, only the texture is displayed in the Well View.
To open the Discrete Property Class Editor, RMB on a discrete log, go to Properties and select Edit Classes. click to enlarge
To assign a texture to a class and display it in the Well View.
- Open the Discrete Property Class Editor for the log type that has the classes you want to assign a texture to, using the context menu (RMB on the log in the JewelExplorer > Properties > Edit Classes).
- Per class, left mouse click in the entry field in the Texture column to select it. Click one more time to activate the drop-down list. The list contains all the textures that are available on the Texture Catalog. You can add textures to the list yourself, see Texture Catalog.
- Select the texture of your choice.
- Click Apply to save the changes and keep the form open, or click OK to save the changes and close the form.
-
Every Well View that you open from now on, will use these display settings for the classes of the selected log.
If the Apply button is not activated, click in the white space underneath the table on the form.
You can use the Template Editor to assign and display textures:
- For discrete property classes
- For a discrete property track
- For continuous logs
- For a summation track
For discrete property classes, by default the settings on the Discrete Property Class Editor determine the display of the classes in the Well View. You can, however, manually override these settings per Well View with the Template Editor. To do so:
- From the Well View, open the Template Editor. You can open the Template Editor via the icon (
) in the Well View toolbar, right-clicking anywhere in the Well View and selecting Edit Template... from the context menu or by double-clicking on a blank part of the Well View canvas. - Select the discrete log in the Track Explorer. This opens the settings pane for the selected log.
- In the table under Curve Filling Settings in the settings pane, select the class for which you want to change the texture (the row is highlighted in blue).
- Left mouse button click in the Texture column to activate the drop-down list with all available textures in the Texture Catalog.
- Select a texture.
- Click Apply to save the change and keep the Template Editor open, or click OK to save the change and close the form.
- The Well View is updated immediately. If you save the current settings to a template, you can apply the texture in other Well Views as well. If you don't save the settings in a template, the settings are only applied to the currently selected Well View (indicated in the title bar of the Template Editor form).
