Creating a Stacked Section Plot

Drillhole stacked section option enables multiple sections to be plotted to the same map. The same tools for defining multiple sections to individual maps are now available to plot the same sections to a single map.

To Create a Stacked Section Plot:

On the DH-Plot menu, click Stacked Section.
The Section Parameters dialog is displayed.
To specify the number of stacked sections to plot, select the Section Location tab. In the Number of sections box under Multiple Sections, specify the number of sections you want plotted to a single map. Note that if you select multiple sections all sections will be displayed on a single map. To plot multiple sections on individual maps, see the Sections option.
To plot data along the hole traces in the sections, select the Data tab.
The Plot check boxes enable/disable the Data selection dropdown lists. This is a convenient way to select or de-select individual data plots without clearing or re-selecting the data from the Data lists.
Using the Data drop-down lists, select the data channels available in the current Drillhole project you want to plot.
Using the Plot Type drop-down lists, select the plotting type for the data selected.
Select the plot type(s) from the dropdown list. The Plot Types displayed are based on the selected Data type:Numeric channel selections include: "Bar plot", "Grid: Kriging", "Grid: Min curvature", "Grid: TIN-based", "Numeric bands", "Post grade/thickness", "Post values", "Profile", "Structural ticks".String or text channel selections include: "Comments", "Post text", "Rock patterns", and "Text bands".
Click the OK button on the Section Parameters dialog. The stacked section map is created and displayed.
There are many additional section-plotting options that enable you to include other parameters. As you become more familiar with the system, we recommend that you experiment with the other options to create a custom map of your own.
