11 - Hardcopy

Great advances have been made in the area of Map Display (SeisX 3.4.2), both in "Attributes" as well as HardCopy Display. Scaling is much more useful, annotations are now proportional, screen parameters can now be "passed" to the Display Menu. The following comments refer to SeisX 3.4


Base Maps - Parameters

Notice that a Map Attributes window opens. Advance the slider bar to ensure that the Absolute scale is set to 1:50,000, the Use Scale icon is set to Yes and the Zoom is set to Current. Ensure that the Map Width is what you expect. Physically change the size of the map window to identify the exact area and to control the map size. Toggle the Current button off and on to re set the map size.

Check and reset the Well Posting Attributes to the size of the final map

Save these parameters in Parms... with the name 50. If you desire to "test" plot, zoom into the map in detail with the map attributes, and press Parms... to load are parameters and check that the sizes are what you desire. Scroll around the map area but do not zoom in or out. This will reset the parameters. If you need to correct the sizes, or plot options save the parameters again. Zoom out to the full map area, select the hardcopy button and load the parameters in again and print. I build other parameter files for each map scale I require.

Seismic Sections -- Index Map

Use the icon on a displayed seismic line for a plot. Set the displayed Attributes to set the start, end times and plot scale. Notice that SeisX will plot seismic at true map scale, even for different common depth point bins. Notice the different trace spacing on this line intersection

Set the title block text size to .1 and the Map Size to 6. SeisX can plot a little index map of the current map area with the seismic line highlighted.


Horizon Value Graphing

If you do not get out the Horizon amplitudes you desire, select Horizons, Set displayed Horizons


Note: click on any screen picture and you will have the full size image. Press (Alt) and the left arrow and you will return to the document.
