Using the Bubble Plot Time Control tool

Use the Bubble Plot Time Control tool of the CoView to control for which time steps of your production data the bubble plots are displayed. You can also use the tool to create an animation of your production data through time. You do this with the animation toolbar, which allows you to step through the time steps manually or automatically. There are options to adjust the settings of the animation, such as the speed and time interval. You can access the tool in the Content tab of the CoView Manager via the context menu of the wellbores.

You can use the Bubble Plot Time Control tool:

  • In the CoView. The tool is not available in other views.
  • For bubble plots based only on production data. You need first to create bubble plots for your production data, using the Bubble Plot tool, in order to use the Bubble Plot Time Control tool.
  • Per CoView. This means that the tool controls only the time steps for bubble plots that are available in your active CoView.
