Detachable Panes

Analyst has three panes i.e. Mapping, Properties and Plot, which are requested from the menu “Window” or from the context menu of individual Annotation Elements. Panes can be attached and detached from the main window. The size and the shape of the panes can be adjusted with the mouse. Undocked panes can be placed on different screens. The layout of the user interface can be reset by selecting the menu “Window | Reset Layout”. The viewer and the panes are arranged to its original layout.

Mapping pane

The Mapping pane comprises four tabs providing individual Annotation Elements and Tools; i.e. Structure, Geometry, Occurrences and Area Partitioning. The additional Settings tab allows the adjustment of the general mapping performance. 

1. Individual tabs                                      
2. Tab-specific toolbar
3. List of Annotation Elements
4. General settings                                   

Properties pane 

The Properties pane displays the information of the selected Annotation Element. The layout of the pane depends on the selected element and is shown in the individual chapters in this manual.

Plot pane

The Plot pane features the plot of the Section, Tape Measure and the Profile (profile plots along the surface), as well as plot of Lithologic Regions and Homogeneous Areas (pie charts). The specific Plot panes are shown in the corresponding chapter in this manual. 

Attaching and detaching panes

Attaching and detaching panes serves for customizing the layout of the Analyst and arranging panes with different functionality at your personal preference. A detachable pane has a dock bar at the top of its window.

Attaching panes:

Detaching panes:

2. Drag the view to the desired position while holding the left mouse button
