Drillhole Text Formatter
This routine allows for flexible labeling of any data contained
in the drillholes- also known as "posting drillholes." After
selecting which drillholes to label, the program prompts whether to
process beds. This option will composite the strata by bed name
which groups the strata into seams such as bed_top, bed_key,
bed_parting and bed_bottom. These composited values are then
available for labeling. Without process beds, the strata are
reported individually. The Drillhole Text Format Options dialog is
similar to the Drillhole Import routine and other commands in
Carlson, where the available options are listed on the left and the
used options are added to the right window. All the available
strata are listed in the first list box and all the attributes for
currently selected strata are listed in the second list box. When
the selected available option is added, the next dialog appears for
setting the format and location options. The settings can be saved
to and recalled from a drillhole text format file.
- Text Size: Controls the size of text
drawn
- Text Offset: Sets the distance from the center of the
drillhole to the text
- Label thickness for missing strata
as Zero: If the seam is not
present in a hole, this option will label it as "0.0", otherwise
there is no label
- Prefix layers with drillhole type
name: This adds the Drillhole
Type name to the layer as a prefix
- Skip empty rows: If a value is not existing in a hole, this
option will skip it and go to the next one
- Overlap labels with same row:
This option, if selected, will
start the text at the same location if on the same
row
- Draw text at elevation: This will draw the text up at elevation of
the hole
- Draw as MTEXT:
Selecting this will group the text as MText (multiline text),
otherwise it is separate standard text for each text item.

for each text line

the text, such as straight up, straight down, or 45 degrees
etc.

the row position counting both up or down from the symbol, based on
whether it is set to above or below the symbol
