Graphic Reports: Chart Configuration

Background

Graphs within graphic reports show a visual representation of data. Some example datasets used as graphs within reports would be geophysics, assay values, percentages or ranges. There are several areas to note when setting up a point, line or bar graph in Geobank’s graphic reports.

Configuration

A nominated Geobank administrator or a Micromine Geobank specialist will be able to assist with collecting data through a dataset in the Graphic Report configuration. An important note here is that the dataset must be linked to a Master Dataset for your report, typically a collar or header dataset with the list of drillholes.

Next up, is in the configuration of the report itself under the designer tab. In the report configuration area, you can select Horizontal scaling. Using a scale-bar allows scaling lines to run clearly through your chart, especially useful for line-graphs for geophysics. Configure your Horizontal scaling to the report area. There is an option here to set your range of values for your scale.

After you have set your scaling, select your graph type and set it to the same area parameters as your horizontal scaling. Link the dataset to your Primary Data Source under the Data tab, the column is the data values you would like to plot.

 Assuming that vertical scaling has been set to depths for downhole reports, the final area of configuration is linking both vertical and horizontal scaling for your graph.

Lastly, under the Colours tab are options to shade your graph and in which direction.
