CPT plot lines with gaps

Question

Hi all, I'm trying to create some custom reports where I can include both CPT and lab results, but so far I'm stuck on the CPT plots. The areas marked with an arrow have no data and I would like it to be left blank, however the program displays extrapolated data. Is there any way to do this? 
 
 Best, 
 Marek

Hi Marek, 
 
 There is a built in feature that may help you with this. Typically you will only have depth data and not depth bottom. If you goto report design and open the plot vs depth entity . Then goto the lines tab. there are a couple of features that may help. The simplest one is the the maximum depth gap expression. This can be just a number of a more complex logic expression.

This property allows you to specify a Maximum Depth Gap . 
 If the interval between two consecutive data points is greater than the value specified the line will not be drawn between the two points. The units are the same as the units for the data. By default, when you specify a line to be drawn all points will be connected 
 
 There is a great detailed example in gINT help . 
 
 Goto gINT help .. lookup "Maximum Depth Gap expression" and other options could be the "Suppress Line Segment Expression" 
 
 In your case a simple Maximum Depth gap expression should work 
 
 For example if the gap between two depth records is 2 feet or greater hide the line between those 2 point s. You would just put 2 in the Maximum depth gap expression.

You can get much more complex in your logic writing an expression and/or use the Suppress line segment expression for other complex items
