Hello - we plot N-values vs depth on our logs. I would like to give the user the option to suppress a line between two points. I was hoping I could do this with a linetype field in the SAMPLE table, but when I added that, and then used the <<SAMPLE.LineType>> as the line type override in the plot, it changed all the connecting lines instead of just the one where I populated that field. Any ideas how to make this work by each sample?
Please clarify. Do you want to suppress the portion of line from the point before the desired sample to the sample, from the desired sample to the next sample, or both? I can envision a hack way to do this but there may be a better way. I just want to make sure I am clear on what you want to do before I look at it.
Thank you. Here is an example situation:
S-1 has N-value of 12 and is an SPT
S-2 has N-value of 6 and is an SPT
S-3 has N-value of 54 and is NOT an SPT (Mod Cal or other nonstandard penetration test)
S-4 has N-value of 10 and is an SPT
S-5 has N-value of 15 and is an SPT
For the above situation, I would want S-1 and S-2 connected with a line. Then there would be no line between S-2 and S-3 or S-3 and S-4. Then S-4 and S-5 would be connected with a line.
OK, give me a few days and I'll work up an example. There are a few "what ifs" I have to think through and work out (what if the suppressed sample is the first or last sample, what if there are other sample types in the sample table, etc.)
It won't have an N-value <<SAMPLE.N>> if it is a different kind of sample. So only if <<SAMPLE.Type>> = SPT would it plot a line. Otherwise not.
