# 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](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts.md) - build a layout step by step; gateway to the full editor reference.
* [Layout Editor Basics](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/layout-editor-basics.md) - toolbar, palette, paper format, and interface quick settings.
* [Element Properties Reference](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/element-properties.md) - fill, line, font, z-order, and other properties shared by all layout elements.
* [Layout Files and Lists](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/layout-files-and-lists.md) - GLO, GGF, and GLL file formats; the Available Layouts list.
* [Construction and Alignment](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/construction-and-alignment.md) - grid, snap, rulers, and element alignment.
* [Object Frames](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/object-frames.md) - required containers for complex graphic elements.
* [Text Macros and Variable Text](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/text-macros-and-variable-text.md) - `$`-macro syntax and the Variable Text element.
* [Report Elements](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/report-elements.md) - tabular data output inside a layout.

## Borehole logs

* [Creating Borehole Logs](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-borehole-logs.md) - produce standard borehole log graphics.
* [Customizing Log Layouts](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-borehole-logs/customizing-log-layouts.md) - layer queries, selection syntax, and layout list management.
* [Borehole Elements](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/borehole-elements.md) - graphic element properties for the borehole log element.

## Cross sections

* [Creating Cross Sections](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-cross-sections.md) - construct geological cross-sections from selected boreholes.
* [Cross Section Layouts](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-cross-sections/cross-section-layouts.md) - scales, axis range, labeling, and cross-section panel settings.
* [Cross Section Layouts (advanced)](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/cross-section-layouts.md) - advanced layout editor settings for cross-section outputs.

## Site plans and maps

* [Creating Site Plans](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-site-plans.md) - site plan tool: scale, scenarios, scene types, and portal links.

## Diagrams and charts

* [Measurement Value Graphics](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/measurement-value-graphics.md) - the graphic element that hosts time series, X-Y, and hydrochemical diagrams.
* [X-Y Diagrams](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/creating-custom-layouts/x-y-diagrams.md) - X-Y, triangle, Piper, Durov, and histogram diagram types.
* [Time Series Charts](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/time-series-charts.md) - time-domain measurement display, aggregation series, and formula syntax.
* [Well Design Diagrams](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/well-design-diagrams.md) - well construction and completion diagrams.
* [Diagram and Chart Properties](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/maps-and-site-plans.md) - series, calculated lines, aggregation, and axis settings shared across diagram types.
* [Scale Bars and Depth Scales](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/scale-bars-and-depth-scales.md) - depth scale element, scale options, and layout quick settings.

## Specialized outputs

* [Depth-Oriented Images as Borehole Profiles](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/depth-oriented-images-as-borehole-profiles.md) - photo logs and core images as borehole-profile elements.
* [Display PSD as a Bar Chart](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/display-particle-size-distribution-psd-as-a-bar-chart.md) - particle-size distribution bar charts.
* [Groundwater Visualizations](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/groundwater-visualizations.md) - groundwater level symbols and tag lines in logs and cross sections.

## Reporting

* [Report Templates](/visualization-layouts-and-reporting/report-templates.md) - turn layouts into printable report templates.
