Voxler 3 has added the ability to label your 3D point cloud. You can use numbers or text to label your scatter plot, apply a uniform offset in the X and Y direction, and much more. Click here to download sample data and follow along as I demonstrate this new feature and its capabilities. Continue reading
Today, let’s make a map that highlights a certain feature. How? I’m going to show you how to make a Gradient map of CO2 emissions by country (for the year 2009) in MapViewer 7, and then apply a unique fill and outline to countries where the CO2 emissions were greater than 15 tonnes/person/year.

That was the question the European Commission asked thousands of Europeans in 2009. The results, which were published in the Special Eurobarometer report entitled “Sport and Physical Activity“, are shown in this MapViewer 7 Hatch Map. The darker the color, the higher the number, with yellow representing countries that were not included in the survey. Continue reading
Have you ever seen a plot on the web that you wanted more information out of? The problem is usually that only a few numbers are actually listed in the article, and it’s very difficult to estimate with any accuracy the values from the plot. Here’s how to get around that. Continue reading

Voxler 3 has added the ability to create a 3D model of your well logs and boreholes with the new WellRender module. Build your 3D model from your well logs, collars table, and trajectory data, and then attach a HeightField module to a Digital Elevation Model, a National Elevation Dataset, or a Surfer Grid file to give your wells spatial reference.

According to the National Post, in the United States Super Tuesday refers to the “first date where a significant number of states hold their contests [for party nomination] on the same day.” The importance of this day is that each state has a certain number of delegates voting, and to be a presidential nominee one must obtain a large number of these delegates votes. Super Tuesday is when a majority of these votes are cast. Super Tuesday fell on March 6 of 2012, and this time around, the following ten states participated: Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. In honor of Super Tuesday, I’ve used MapViewer 7 to create the following Pie Map detailing what percentage of the votes in each state each candidate obtained. Continue reading
Strater 3 has added a new Tadpole Log, which enables you to plot symbols representing dip angle, measured from zero to 90 degrees, and dip direction, measured from zero to 360 degrees, at the recorded depth, based off a data file. The symbol is plotted vertically based off the depth measurement, and plotted along the horizontal axis at the dip angle value. The dip direction is displayed by the direction of the symbol’s tail, with zero degrees pointing straight up, and positive angles increasing in a clockwise direction. You can use Strater 3′s Tadpole Log to help determine geologic structure, such as the strike and dip of bedding planes, of your well. To create a Tadpole Log in Strater 3 you will need a data file organized into four columns by Hole ID, Depth, Dip, and Dip Direction. You can also include an optional fifth column of data, Type, which can contain keywords used by a scheme to assign a unique symbol and symbol color. Click here to download sample data, and then follow along as I show you how to construct a tadpole log. Continue reading
