by Pat Cummings » Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:06 am Component descriptions automatically combine data from many fields into one combined description at output. This creates consistency, the ability to validate data entry, and ability to query. When you have…

Detail descriptions cover features within a layer that do not apply to the entire layer. There are various ways to indicate the depth or depths over which these descriptions apply. A detail description may cover a feature that covers a vertical zone,…

by Pat Cummings » Fri Jul 31, 2009 9:30 am You can draw, enter or import the coordinates of a custom baseline or alignment for a fence report, determining the projection of points onto a fence. When you do not specify the baseline, the software creates…

Instead of just a plot of some parameter (like CPT or other readings) on a log or fence with lots of blank space under the plot line, you can fill this area with graphics to show other information. The area under plot lines can be filled with a graphic…

by Pat Cummings » Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:23 am You can create log reports with colorful material graphics. By simply adding a field to your database populated with codes of colors already inherent to the program, you can create a material graphic column…

by Pat Cummings » Thu Sep 10, 2009 8:09 am All of the graphic and text columns that can be included in logs can also appear on fence report fence posts. Fence report design in gINT is very flexible, enabling the display of all of the graphic and text…

by Pat Cummings » Tue Sep 29, 2009 8:00 am Particle size distribution data can be displayed graphically on logs and fences as stacked bars. Data on logs and fences can be displayed in many ways. The following example demonstrates that showing numeric…

by Pat Cummings » Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:18 am You can use the sitemap entity to place a small site map on your log or fence report. This allows you to see graphically on the report where the point or points reside on site map and in relation to each other…

by Pat Cummings » Fri Dec 18, 2009 9:07 am You can easily graph downhole sensor data like CPT readings on a log or fence report. gINT software has powerful calculation and database capabilities that facilitate the building of cone penetration test…

by Pat Cummings » Tue Dec 29, 2009 9:36 am You can plot inclinometer results on a plot vs depth graph. gINT will allow you to show a different plot for each monitoring date and increment the data marker and line type, as well as differentiating them…

by Pat Cummings » Wed Dec 30, 2009 9:13 am You can draw and label range lines, with optional pointers, to indicate a range on a log or fence column. Text that occurs with the range line can be centered on, or oriented left or right of the range line…

by Pat Cummings » Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:02 am When a layer you are describing in a report extends from one page into subsequent pages, you want to be able to repeat the layer description at the top of each new page on which it occurs. (The alternative…

by Pat Cummings » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:39 am Reports can show material graphic columns with interbedded layers. A common natural phenomenon is to encounter layers composed of interbeds of two materials. Instead of creating many thin layers or designing…

by Pat Cummings » Thu Feb 11, 2010 10:11 am All of the graphic and text columns that can be included in logs can also appear on fence report fence posts. Fence report design in gINT is very flexible, enabling the display of all of the graphic and text…

You can format your logs to appear in newspaper-style columns. gINT allows you considerable flexibility in designing your Log reports. This includes being able to have wrapping log body columns. For example, you can design a log form that prints two log…

When you want to move data from one database structure into a different database with a non-matching table-and-field structure, you can build a correspondence file that maps the different locations of data between the two. A correspondence file can be…

by Pat Cummings » Tue Jul 14, 2009 5:07 pm You can view the borehole points in a gINT project as Google Earth places, and visualize your site layout using all of Google Earth’s tools. Google Earth integration is provided in gINT 8.2. With this feature…

It is common in lab testing to supply a testing facility with field-collected samples, tagged only with a chain-of-custody code. This code is the only information the lab has about the sample. You can import the testing results returned from the lab,…

Data from an ASCII file can be plotted with graph reports. This allows you take any X-Y data and use gINT as your reporting tool. Comma-separated data in an external ASCII file can be plotted using a gINT Graph report. Additionally, information from the…

A common need for drilling projects is a statistical summary of billable data: total length of holes drilled, actual drilling time, and so on. You can use the reporting capabilities of gINT to generate these billing quantities, and print a report that…

by Pat Cummings » Thu Jun 25, 2009 3:33 pm The Graphics Text Doc and Text Docs report formats can be used to create labels from information stored in your project database or in a library table. You can use the repeating page property of a Graphic…

When you have three mutually interdependent variables whose proportions must total 100%, a ternary (triangular) diagram is often used to present the data. gINT Graphs can output data using a ternary diagram (gINT version 6 and later). To report the relative…

Straight lines can be drawn on Graph Reports as best-fit lines through some data set. This can be data from the project database, or an explicit set defined in the report properties. A straight line can be drawn or developed to fit to specified values…

Curves defined by equation can be drawn on Graph Reports. The curved red lines along the right edge of the Moisture-Density plot below were drawn by specifying a curve equation as part of the report properties: Curves on CompactionPlot.jpg (102…

When you are monitoring some parameter over time, the data can be plotted against time on a graph. gINT Graphs can output this plot in a Graph report using a date-time graph. To report the water-level elevation measured over time in several monitoring…
