Description

LogPlot is THE standard in log plotting software

LogPlot is an easy-to-use log plotting program with a flexible log layout and intuitive data editor. LogPlot software has been used by geoscientists since 1983 to display their geotechnical, environmental, geophysical, mud/gas, and mining data as a graphic boring log.

We can help with migrating your data from gINT©  software.

Plot single-page logs for shallow borings or multi-page/continuous logs for deep wells. Share logs with clients via PDF or post HTML log pages on your website. Export single pages or continuous logs to JPG, BMP, TIFF, and PNG images.

What operating systems does LogPlot support?

LogPlot should install, license, and run properly in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. It is available with both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. The 64-bit version supports longer logs and faster processing, and requires a 64-bit version of Windows.

You can run LogPlot on a virtual machine on a Mac Computer running Windows, but it will not install directly to a Mac.

The RockWare Network License Administrator – for network licenses – runs under Windows Server 2008 (or newer) or Windows 7 (or newer).

What types of licenses are available for LogPlot?

LogPlot is offered with the following license types:

  • Single license can be installed onto a single computer. It is activated with a code specific to that computer, issued by RockWare. The license can be transferred to a new computer or different user by following the transfer instructions listed below on this FAQ page.  Single licenses cannot be accessed across a network and are not a shared license type. This license can be upgraded to a Network license by paying the difference in price.
  • Network license is a shared license type. Any potential user may install LogPlot on their local computer. A separate License Manager program is installed on a server or other network computer and activated for X number of concurrent users. When a person launches LogPlot on their local machine, it looks to the License Manager to see if a seat is available and, if so, it will start. The License Manager can be configured to permit users to borrow a license when not connected to the network (e.g. in the field) for up to 60 days. Additional seats can be added by paying the difference in price.
  • Classroom license is offered to academic institutions at a highly discounted price and is comprised of a Single license (typically for the instructor) and a Network license (for the lab). The Network seats are purchased in blocks of 10 (10 concurrent users, 20 concurrent users, etc.)

How do I install and activate my LogPlot license?

If you purchase a license for LogPlot, you will receive an email from our fulfillment desk with the “registration number” for your license. Keep this – you’ll need it to activate your license.

LogPlot installs as a demo. You can download the installer from the main LogPlot page on our website. Save the installer file to your computer, then run it to install the software. The trial version is fully-functional for 2 weeks.

If you purchased a Single or Annual license, a machine-specific “Unlocking Code” is used to convert the time-limited demo to the full version. You can request your Unlocking Code via the RockWare Customer Portal or our Registration Form. (See the LogPlot Licensing page for details.)

If you purchased a Network license, your administrator will need to download, install, and activate the separate RockWare Network License Administrator on a server or other network computer. Contact us with questions. Users can install the LogPlot demo on their local computer as described above and connect to the license manager. (See the LogPlot Licensing page for details.)

How do I unlock / remove my LogPlot license?

Why should I keep my maintenance up to date?

Maintenance is offered for Single and Network licenses for LogPlot. New licenses and upgrades to LogPlot include one year of maintenance. Maintenance includes the support options listed on our support page, as well as 30 minutes of phone support, software updates and bug fixes, and new version upgrades.

After the expiration of the 12 month period, maintenance can be renewed for a fee. If you choose NOT to renew, you are still able to use the software, however:

  • You will not be able to use a revision than is newer than your maintenance expiration date – no new features or bug fixes. (If you would like an idea of how many enhancements we have made to the program, check out the LogPlot Revisions listing.)
  • Upgrades from LogPlot to new versions are only offered under this maintenance plan and cannot be purchased separately. If maintenance has lapsed, you need to pay the lapsed maintenance plus the maintenance renewal to get back on the plan.

For more details please refer to our Maintenance Policy.

How is borehole data stored in LogPlot?

LogPlot data is stored in text “.ldat8” files — typically with one LDAT8 file per boring or well. LogPlot will also load RockWorks SQLite database records.

See the LogPlot Data Editor page for more details.

Can I create my own rock/soil symbols in LogPlot?

Yes. LogPlot installs with an extensive library of rock/soil symbols (or “patterns”), which are linked to an extensive list of lithology and well construction terms (or “keywords” such as “sand”, “argillaceous limestone”, etc.). You can create new pattern designs and keywords very easily, and delete the designs and terms you don’t use. Once you’ve come up with your own list of keywords and patterns, your files can be saved and shared with others who use the software.

Can I plot long, continuous logs using LogPlot?

Yes. Using LogPlot, you can plot paginated single-sheet or multi-page logs, with any combination of headers and footers on each page. You can also plot continuous logs to plotters or fanfold paper printers which have a Windows-supported driver and which support banner printing.

Can I import and display LAS data using LogPlot?

Yes – The Data Editor’s LAS import tool reads LAS (Log ASCII Standard) files, version 1.2 – 3 for import into the Data Editor. You can import single curves or many from the LAS file.

What options do I have when plotting geophysical data as curves in LogPlot?

LogPlot allows the user to define curve line type, fill type and symbol type in the Log Designer. You can plot curves using a linear or logarithmic scale, and also have several choices for curve wrapping. Additionally, LogPlot has a cross-plot curve column type that will fill in the space between two curves when they intersect. Another option is to adjust the horizontal scale of a curve so that it changes with depth.

See the LogPlot Gallery tab for examples.

Can I show nested wells in a single well construction diagram in LogPlot?

Yes, the “offset” field in the well construction window allows you to offset items to the right of left of the center of the column. This gives you the ability to display as many casings as you want within a single bore.

What is the difference between RockWorks and LogPlot?

LogPlot‘s sole purpose is creating logs: It generates individual well/boring logs with almost unlimited flexibility in log layout, with detailed headers, footers, and any combination of data columns. You can create the graphic log at any vertical scale and print to single-sheet or continuous printers. If you need detailed individual logs, LogPlot is the way to go.

RockWorks creates more simplified logs, designed for display in cross sections and fence diagrams, and as a launching point for project-wide data interpolation and display. Logs are just a small part of what RockWorks does.

RockWorks and LogPlot can share data, so they work nicely together. They are purchased separately.
