gINT - Custom Line Type

Question

I am attempting to create a custom line type for lithology boundaries. When I look at the properties of the "line type" field it shows it is associated with a lookup "Graphic!linetype". The problem is I can't find a "Line Type" tab under any of the symbol or drawing tabs. Where is this table stored and is it possible to access to edit or create new line typeS?

You can create a workaround using a discrete graphic with depth column. 
 + Create a discrete graphic with either just question marks in a line ( ? ? ? ) or a line and question marks (-?-?-?-). 
 + Create a boolean field in the litholoy table. Set to to true (ticked) when you want the question marks. 
 Report design: 
 Create a 'Discrete grapic with depth column' under the Log menu; 
 - column properties; 
 + Set the depth of the depth/graphic pair as the bottom of the lithology section. 
 + Set the graphic part of the depth/graphic to the newly created discrete graphic. 
 + Override width is the same as the lithology column width. 
 + Horizontal alignment is left. 
 + Vertical alignment is middle (assuming the tile was created symmetrical about the center). 
 + set the X and 'Output override X' combination to overlay the lithology graphic column. 
 + Print order higher than that for lithology graphic column (eg 1). 
 + Body data output condition is the boolean field created in the lithology table. 
 Lithology graphic column: 
 + Print order lower than that for discrete graphic column (eg 0). 
 
 Now when reporting if the boolean field is ticked, the questionmark graphic will overprint the the boundary between the two lithology sections. If it is just questionmarks, then put a line as normal in the lithology table, if the new graphic is line plus questionmarks set the normal line command to None (-1)

The line types are built into gINT. Sorry, you can't add a new one. There are 16 types of lines, which seems to me like a lot. I'm curious, what type of line would you like to add?
