Trying to show well graphic below the water table as blue, above as black, in a graphics column. Any ideas? Color by depth, or if depth greater than 'X', change color to 'Y'.

  • Assuming you are using a well construction details table with a top depth, bottom depth, and graphic to show, you could simply create a set of blue colored graphics in symbol design and use these in your well construction table. If the water table is at 15 feet, and your screen is from 10 to 20 feet, use the plain graphic from 10 to 15, and the colored graphic from 15 to 20. It would be helpful to name the colored graphic with the same as the uncolored but with a tag indicating it is colored, e.g. "slot11" and "slot11-blue", so that they are next to each other when selecting the graphics.

  • Hi Bill,

    A good solution would be to make gINT automatically apply the blue color to the graphic column based on the most recent water level recorded. Below are two examples of how you can make the output look. 

    Version 1 (color background)

    Version 2 (color foreground)

  • The expression that you use to accomplish this may differ depending on how your water levels table was designed. In this example I use the standard us lab files.

    Version 1 (color background)

    The output condition below is: 

    <<WELL CONSTRUCTION.Bottom>> > <<User System Data.Water Depth - Single Value>>

    Version 2 (color foreground)

    The Section Color Expression below should be:

    <<IIf((<<WELL CONSTRUCTION.Bottom>> > <<User System Data.Water Depth - Single Value>>),16711680)>>

    In gINT the color Very Light Blue has numeric value of 16711680. 

    The only problem with the two above solutions are that the expressions apply to the entire section from top depth to bottom depth.

    So if you had a water level of 13 ft but a well graphic that runs from 12-14 ft, the whole section from 12 and 14 ft would be blue.

    In that case you would have to enter the well graphic from 12-13 ft and then again from 13-14 ft to get the desired output.

    Water Level = 13ft.

    This will give incorrect output

    This will give correct output

     .  

    Hope that helps. 

  • Thank you both! All of these will work for what I need and I appreciate the help.
