Overview

One engine - the layout editor - drives every graphical output in GeoDin: borehole logs, cross sections, site plans, diagrams, and printed reports.

Layout editor

• Creating Custom Layouts - build a layout step by step; gateway to the full editor reference.
• Layout Editor Basics - toolbar, palette, paper format, and interface quick settings.
• Element Properties Reference - fill, line, font, z-order, and other properties shared by all layout elements.
• Layout Files and Lists - GLO, GGF, and GLL file formats; the Available Layouts list.
• Construction and Alignment - grid, snap, rulers, and element alignment.
• Object Frames - required containers for complex graphic elements.
• Text Macros and Variable Text - $-macro syntax and the Variable Text element.
• Report Elements - tabular data output inside a layout.

Borehole logs

• Creating Borehole Logs - produce standard borehole log graphics.
• Customizing Log Layouts - layer queries, selection syntax, and layout list management.
• Borehole Elements - graphic element properties for the borehole log element.

Cross sections

• Creating Cross Sections - construct geological cross-sections from selected boreholes.
• Cross Section Layouts - scales, axis range, labeling, and cross-section panel settings.
• Cross Section Layouts (advanced) - advanced layout editor settings for cross-section outputs.

Site plans and maps

• Creating Site Plans - site plan tool: scale, scenarios, scene types, and portal links.

Diagrams and charts

• Measurement Value Graphics - the graphic element that hosts time series, X-Y, and hydrochemical diagrams.
• X-Y Diagrams - X-Y, triangle, Piper, Durov, and histogram diagram types.
• Time Series Charts - time-domain measurement display, aggregation series, and formula syntax.
• Well Design Diagrams - well construction and completion diagrams.
• Diagram and Chart Properties - series, calculated lines, aggregation, and axis settings shared across diagram types.
• Scale Bars and Depth Scales - depth scale element, scale options, and layout quick settings.

Specialized outputs

• Depth-Oriented Images as Borehole Profiles - photo logs and core images as borehole-profile elements.
• Display PSD as a Bar Chart - particle-size distribution bar charts.
• Groundwater Visualizations - groundwater level symbols and tag lines in logs and cross sections.

Reporting

• Report Templates - turn layouts into printable report templates.
