2003/Q4 (10/01/03-12/31/03)

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/31/03:JPR): The Edit / Columns / Filter program now provides substitution values to replace the cells that are removed by the filters.

Notice that the replacement values my be textual. This provides a means for flagging special samples (e.g. "Below Detection"), leaving cells blank, or setting the cell values to the cutoff values.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/31/03:JPR): The track selection sub-menu that is used within a variety of programs to select the appropriate I-Data or P-Data column can now be resized.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/31/03:JPR): The View / General-Preferences / Menu-Dimensions / Sub-Menus options have been changed from "Full-Screen" and "640x480" to "Large" and "Small". The large setting no longer fills the entire screen. Instead, it now leaves small margins along the top, left and right. It leaves a larger margin along the base so that the main-menu status bar can been seen when working within a sub-menu (assuming that the user has maximized the main RockWorks menu).

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/31/03:JPR): The Project Dimensions tab includes a new button titled "Utilities Datasheet".

Upon selection, this option will present the user with a list of options that are used to scan the Geological Utilities datasheet in order to establish the project dimensions in a fashion that is similar to that used when scanning the borehole files.

Note that it is possible to selectively scan columns (e.g. if you don't have z-data, you can disable the z-scanning and the existing z-dimensions will be left intact.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Features (12/29/03:MIW): The following new features have been added to the ReportWorks program;

RockPlot files are now displayed when the file is initially selected.
A summary of the Current View is now displayed (type, X scale, Y scale, Vertical Exageration).
Clipping is now OFF by default.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/29/03:JPR): The Measure-Polygon-Perimeter and Measure-Polyline-Length options within the Geological Utilities / Images / Digitize-From-Bitmap program now work correctly. The previous version would plot spurious lines when double-clicking on the endpoints.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/29/03:JPR): The Borehole Manager / Fractures / Export / ASCII program now suggests ASCII-9 (tab) as the delimiter rather than ASCII-15 (shift-in).

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/29/03:JPR): When importing XLS data into the borehole manager, trailing spaces will be removed from borehole file names.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/29/03:JPR): It is now possible to specify the line-style for the traverse location lines within profile, section, and fence location maps.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/29/03:JPR): The perimeter annotation options within the various profile and section programs now includes an option for enabling and disabling the horizontal line that appears along the top of the cross-sections.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Removal (12/29/03:JPR): The RockPlot-2D / File / Import / XML option has been removed.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/28/03:JPR): The Borehole Manager / Stratigraphy / Section program now skips the surface interpolation if the "Interpolate Surfaces" option is disabled.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/28/03:JPR): The section and fence programs include an option titled "Endpoint Selection / Style / List / File" that allows the user to define the section and fence vertices based on a list of coordinates within space-delimited ASCII (text) files.

Sections are based on a list of space-delimited x and y coordinates. There should be two columns of data within a file that is to be used for creating sections. The "Section Coordinates.txt" file provides an example of a section coordinate list;

Fence diagrams are based on a list of space-delimited x and y coordinate pairs. There should be four columns of data within a file that is to be used for creating fence diagrams. The "Fence Coordinates.txt" file provides an example of a fence diagram coordinate list;

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/28/03:JPR): The following improvements have been made to the Borehole Manager / Export / Lithology->I-Data program;

The I-Data column in which to store the numeric lithology data is now selected via the same I-Data track pull-down menu that is used within other I-Data-related menus. There is no longer a need to make note of relative column numbers and other confusing items. In order to use this new capability, the column must already be titled within the I-Data datasheet.
It is now possible to have blank columns to the left of the targeted I-Data column.
A new file called "Lith2Idata.txt" has been added to the Samples folder. This file is used to demonstrate the Borehole Manager / Export / Lithology->I-Data program.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/28/03:JPR):

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/28/03:JPR): The View / General-Preferences / Menu-Dimensions / Main-Menu / User-Defined option now works correctly. The previous version would always make the main menu a tiny dialog located along within the upper-left corner of the screen.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/28/03:JPR): The Geological Utilities / Solid / Plan-View menu no longer list the color legend options twice.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/28/03:JPR): The Geological Utilities / Map / Land-Grid / Section Map program no longer generates a series of "missing variables" error message when initially selected. The menu now includes an option for the land grid table, output units, etc.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/28/03:JPR): The File / Transfer / Locations / Utilities->Borehole-Manager program no longer generates an "Access Violation" error.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/28/03:JPR): If any of the programs within the Geological Utilities / Coords menu are used, the program will now prompt the user to save the datasheet before exiting the program.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/28/03:JPR): The two-dimensional color legends that are created for contour maps, contoured profiles, and contoured sections now include a suite of options for controlling the legend labeling interval;

New Options;

Automatic: Automatically compute a labeling interval based on the contour map interval.
- Maximum Intervals: If the legend will have more then the maximum number of label intervals, the program will double the interval until the number of intervals is less than or equal to this setting.
Manual: Manually specify the labeling interval.
- Label Interval: The label interval to be used.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/28/03:JPR): The two-dimensional color legends that are created for contour maps, contoured profiles, and contoured sections now recognize the user-specified x- and y-offsets.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/27/03:JPR): Contour lines are now disabled, by default, within the various contour maps. Conversely, solid-fill colors are activated by default.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/27/03:JPR): The Profile and Section programs within the I-Data and P-Data menus no longer list the color legend items twice.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Removal (12/27/03:JPR): The profile, section, and fence location maps no longer include an option for plotting a contour map. The reason for this removal is that it created conflicts with other contouring options within the profile, section and fence programs.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/27/03:JPR): The Borehole Manager / I-Data / Plan-Map and P-Data / Plan-Map program menus no longer include options for creating 3D diagrams.

Instead, horizontal 3D slices may be easily created within RockPlot3D by creating a solid model isosurface and selecting the "Slices" option within the model attributes menu. This allows the user to create an infinite number of slices without running the Plan-Map option.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/27/03:JPR): The map border dividers are now disabled as the default setting.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/27/03:JPR): When plotting map borders, the program will now skip labels along the western and eastern borders that extend below the base of the southern axis. The prevents over-plotting with labels along the southern axis.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/26/03:JPR): The Geological Utilities / Stats / Normalize program now allows the user to specify the number of decimal places that are to be used when saving the normalized data.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/26/03:JPR): The Border sub-options that are available for most two-dimensional mapping options now include an option labeled "Project Dimensions". This option (the new default) will set the map annotation perimeter to whatever dimensions have been specified within the main Project Dimensions tab (located along the left margin of the main RockWorks menu).

Dimensioning Method	Advantages	Disadvantages
Project Dimensions	All maps will have the same border dimensions - useful when plotting different data sets that have different sample locations (e.g. surface geochemical sample sites based on outcrops versus drill-hole locations). See Figure 1 (below).	Sample labels may extend beyond map borders. See Figure 2 (below).
Automatic	Map borders automatically set based on the extents of the data. Map borders will be automatically increased to include sample labels. See Figure 3 (below).	Different data sets will have different map dimensions. See Figure 4 (below).
Manual	Map dimensions may be manually specified such that sample labels will be enclosed within map borders. Maps of different data sets will all be the same size.	It's a hassle to manually specify the map dimensions. See menu above.

Figure 1. Different Data Sets - Same Map Dimensions

Figure 2. Sample Labels Extending Beyond Map Borders

Figure 3. Map borders based on project dimension versus map borders based on data range.

Figure 4. The two maps along the top were plotted using the automatic border dimensioning. The two maps along the bottom were plotting using the project-dimensions border option. Note how the maps along the base show the locations of the magnetic and gravity surveys relative to each other whereas the maps along the top are very misleading.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (12/26/03:JPR): The RockPlot-2D / File / Export / RockPlot-3D program now works like this; If a portion of the draped map lies outside of the grid that it is being draped over, the program will assign an elevation based on the closest grid node.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/26/03:JPR): The Borehole-Manager / Aquifers / Export program now asks for a date/time range. The previous version would use whatever date/time range was specified within the other Aquifers programs.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/24/03:JPR): The various profile, section, and fence-diagram programs now include an option labeled "Plot Borehole Locations" within the "Create Separate Location Map" sub-option. This new feature provides a means for including borehole symbols within the traverse-location map. The options that are available within the Plot Borehole Locations sub-menu are identical to those within the Map / Borehole Locations program.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/23/03:JPR): The following profiling programs now include an option labeled "Default Search Distance" that defines which logs (or portions thereof) should be be included if the "Plot Logs" option has been selected. For example, if the Default Search Distance is set to 50, logs within 50 horizontal units of the the profile will be included within the diagram. This setting may also be changed within the interactive selection map. It has been included within the menus primarily for RCL (RockWorks Command Language) users who do not wish to use the interactive selection map.

ReportWorks allows you to work with both vector and raster graphics.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/19/03:MIW): A new program titled "Morph" has been added to the Geological Utilities / Solid menu. This program allows the user to create dynamic "movies" within RockPlot/3D that show time-based changes within multiple solids.

In order to use the Solid/Morph program, you must first create a datasheet within the Geological Utilities (i.e. an ATD file) that lists the existing "end-member" solids that are to be morphed;

List of Mercury models.

Once a list of models has been created, the Sold/Morph option is selected;

The "Group Name" refers to the name that will appear within the RockPlot/3D data tree. The "Increments" refer to the number transitional models that we be generated between each of the pre-existing, "end-member" models.

At this stage, the RockPlot/3D menu will appear;

The green buttons within the Model Morphing Options menu are used to start and stop the animation. The "Save AVI" button is used to create animated movies that can be emailed to other users so that they can view the animation without RockWorks.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (12/19/03:JPR): The default project folder has been renamed from "My RockWorks2004 Files" to "RockWorks2004".

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/02/03:JPR): A new option titled "Snap" has been added to the map selection menu that is used for selecting profiles, cross-sections, fence-diagrams, and the stratigraphic contact picker. When checked, the program will automatically reposition the cursor at the closest borehole.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/01/03:JPR): A new option titled "Paint Program" has been added to the RockPlot-2D / File / Export menu.

This program will convert the currently displayed diagram into a BMP file and export it into a user-specified paint program for subsequent editing.

The export menu allows the user to specify if the default Windows bitmap editing program (i.e. whatever application is "associated" with the ".bmp" extension) should be used for editing the diagram, or the user may define a specific program.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (12/01/03:JPR): The cross-section horizontal scale-bar endpoints now correspond with the exact extents of the cross-section endpoints. The previous version would extend to the edges of the diagram, sometimes introducing inaccuracies when the diagram included wide borehole logs at the edges of the section.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (12/01/03:JPR): The "Border" menu options that are used by most of the programs that create two-dimensional cross-sections now include an option titled "Project Dimensions".

The Project-Dimensions option (the new default) will set the vertical cross-section range to the settings that are specified within the main Project Dimension tab located along the left edge of the main program menu or accessed via the "Adjust Project Dimensions" option (see example above). This new capability insures that all cross-sections have an identical vertical range.

Fracture Plan-Map (1380' Elevation) Combined With Fracture Logs

Fractures/Model: This program will generate a solid fracture model in which the voxel values are based on the distance between the voxel nodes and the closest fracture.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/19/03:JPR): The Project Dimensions menu has been relocated from the View menu to a main menu tab located along the left side of the main RockWorks screen;

A variety of new new options have been added to this menu;

Compute Dimensions Based On Enabled Boreholes: If you press this button, the program will scan all enabled (the boreholes with the enabled option checked) boreholes and set the project dimensions based upon their coordinates and minimum/maximum elevations (as computed from the borehole collars elevations and the maximum depths).
Compute Dimensions Based On All Boreholes: If you press this button, the program will scan all boreholes, including any disables wells (the boreholes with the enabled option unchecked) and set the project dimensions based upon their coordinates and minimum/maximum elevations (as computed from the borehole collars elevations and the maximum depths).
Show Advanced Properties: If checked, the program will display the items below the X-Spacing, Y-Spacing, Z-Spacing portion of the menu. Otherwise, these options will not be displayed.
Clean Data: If checked, the program will perform the following operations when scanning the borehole data via the "Compute Dimensions" buttons;
- Extraneous decimal places will be removed from the Min/Max/Spacing data.
- The node spacings will be rounded to reasonable numbers (e.g. 79.5 might become 100.0 depending upon the range of the data).
- The extents of the project will be increased such that they are multiples of the node spacing while simultaneously insuring that all points are enclosed by the new boundaries.
Horizontal Resolution: The x and y node spacing will be determined by computing the average minimum distance between the control points and then multiplying that number by the Horizontal Resolution. For example, if the average minimum
distance between the control points is 100, and the Horizontal Resolution is set to 0.5, the x and y node spacing will be set to 50.
Vertical Resolution: The z-spacing will be computed by dividing the range of the elevation data by this number. For example, if the minimum elevation is -1000 and the maximum elevation is 1000, and the vertical resolution is 10, then the z-spacing will be set to 200.
X-Nodes: Number of x (east/west) nodes within grids and solids.
Y-Nodes: Number of y (south/north) nodes within grids and solids.
Z-Nodes: Number of z (base/top) nodes within grids and solids.
Grid:Nodes(Cells): Total number of nodes within grid models.
Solid: Nodes(Cells): Total number of nodes within solid models.
Cell Area: Area of grid cells.
Voxel Volume: Volume of solid model voxels.
Grid Area: Surface area of grid models.
Solid Volume: Volume of solid models.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (11/20/03:MIW): The following bugs have been fixed within the RockWorks -> DXF export program;

1. AutoCAD won't plot 360 degree ARC's, they're now plotted as CIRCLE's.
2. Invalid color (-1) caused a range check error, it now defaults to 0.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/19/03:JPR): The Profile, Section, and Fence menu options within the Borehole Manager Lithology, Stratigraphy, I-Data, P-Data, Fractures, and Aquifers menus now include an option titled "Create Separate Location Map".

If the "Create Separate Location Map" box is checked, the program will create separate reference maps that depict the profile, section or traverse locations. In the case of profiles and sections, the endpoints may be automatically labeled based on the labels that are defined within the new "Perimeter Annotation" submenu.

These maps may be combined with the profiles, sections, and fence diagrams via the new ReportWorks program.

If the "Perimeter Annotation" box is checked, the program will plot the following items; A diagram title (e.g. Cross-Section A-A') centered at the top, endpoint labels (e.g. A & A'), and the X (easting) and Y (northing) coordinates at the endpoints and any vertices within the sections.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/09/03:JPR): A new program titled "Section" has been added to the Geological Utilities / Solid menu. This program is used to generate 2-dimensional cross-sections that include "bends" within the section (e.g. hole-to-hole sections). It is identical to the Stratigraphy / Section program described below.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/09/03:JPR): A new program titled "Section" has been added to the Lithology menu. This program is used to generate 2-dimensional cross-sections that include "bends" within the section (e.g. hole-to-hole sections). It is identical to the Stratigraphy / Section program described below.

It is identical to the Stratigraphy / Section program described below.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/09/03:JPR): A new program titled "Section" has been added to the I-Data menu. This program is used to generate 2-dimensional cross-sections that include "bends" within the section (e.g. hole-to-hole sections). It is identical to the Stratigraphy / Section program described below.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/19/03:JPR): A new program called "Section" has been added to the Borehole Manager / Stratigrahy menu.

Unlike the Profile program, the Section menu allows the user two select multiple points for the cross-section.

Once selected, the program will create a "bent" cross section that uses interpolated surface modeling (as to create the diagram.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/18/03:JPR): When selecting profile, section, and fence panel endpoints, it is now possible to "snap" your selections to the closest borehole. This is accomplished by selecting the "Snap To Closest Borehole" option within the "Endpoint Selection" portion of the various menus.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/09/03:JPR): A new option titled "Section" has been added to the I-Data menu. This program is used to generate 2-dimensional cross-sections that include "bends" within the section (e.g. hole-to-hole sections).

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (11/11/03:JPR): The View/Closest-Point option locates borehole files much faster (seconds versus minutes) when working with large databases.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (11/04/03:JPR): The Chem_Titles.txt file (used to store the I-Data column titles) has been renamed to Idata_Column_Titles.txt. If the program encounters a file titled "Chem_Titles.txt" within the project folder, it will be renamed to "Idata_Column_Titles.txt" and notify the user about the change. The same applies to the Elog_Titles.txt file; it has been renamed "Pdata_Column_Titles.txt".

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (11/04/03:JPR): A new option titled "Log Compilation" has been added to the View / General-Preferences menu. But first, a few words about "binary" files ...

The borehole files (*.bh) files that RockWorks creates are ASCII text files. When you add or edit borehole data, it is automatically saved within these files. When you create a diagram or perform an analysis of the data, RockWorks first copies all of the ASCII borehole data into a binary file for faster access during the subsequent analysis which may involve multiple passes through the data. With small data sets, this ASCII-to-binary conversion process is barely noticeable. With large data sets, however, the conversion process can be slow. By "large" we don't necessarily mean the number of boreholes but rather the amount of data within the boreholes. For example, 10,000 downhole geophysical data points per well can significantly retard a data set with only a dozen boreholes. As a consequence, we have added some features that give the user greater control over when this ASCII-to-binary process takes place;

When set to the "Automatically Compile Logs" option (the default setting), the program will automatically compile all of the logs into a binary format before executing a log-related task (e.g. generating a stratigraphic block diagram). When set to the "Manually Compile Logs" option, the program will ask the user if the logs should be recompiled into a binary format before executing a log-related task. This is useful if you're performing multiple operations with a large, static data set.

It you choose to disable the "Prompt When Necessary" option, the program will not ask the user if the logs should be recompiled into a binary format before executing a log-related task. Instead, a button with a yellow-circle icon will appear to the left of the borehole file list. This button is used to manually recompile all of the logs into a binary format.

Note: If you choose to disable the recompilation prompting, you MUST be sure to press the "Recompile" button whenever you add or edit any downhole data.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (11/04/03:JPR): Disabled logs are no longer included within diagrams and analyses with the exception of the Striplog / Summary program.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (11/04/03:JPR): I-Data and P-Data are now longer scanned within log files during the creation of diagrams and analyses that do not use them. The significantly decreases the execution times for many borehole-related operations. For example, if you have a data set with 24 boreholes and each hole has 10,000 downhole geophysical data points, the previous version was reading 240,000 extra points just to plot a lithology profile that did not include any geophysical information.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (10/29/03/JPR): The RCL (RockWorks Command Language) has been completely redesigned. The previous scheme, based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) proved to be too complex for casual use. This new version consists of simple commands preceded by optional parameters. Unlike the previous version, which only covered a few operations, the new RCL includes commands for almost every RockWorks application. For more information, click here.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (10/29/03/JPR): All of the tutorial/sample files have been combined into a single folder (My Documents / My RockWorks2004 Files / Samples). The coordinates for all of the spatial data sets have been made consistent for a hypothetical project area.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (10/29/03/MMM): The help messages (aka "abstracts") that appear along the right side of the menus have been completely redesigned and rewritten. They now provide step-by-step instructions in addition to technical references. These new instructions are contained within HTML files that provide extensive cross-links to related information.

These help messages are now "web-based", meaning that the help files are no longer installed on the user's machine. Instead, they are dynamically downloaded from the RockWare web site as the various menus are being displayed. This greatly reduces the installation program download time because the help files are very extensive (20mb+). It also means that we at RockWare can continue to enhance this information and add case studies without requiring that you download a new version every time we add some new information.

In the event that the web-based help doesn't work for you (e.g. no Internet access, slow Internet access), it is still possible to install these help files on your machine by selecting a new option titled "Download Help Files" within the Help / Online-Information menu.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (10/29/03/JPR): A new tab, titled "Tables" provides a more straightforward method for accessing the various tables (e.g. lithology, stratigraphy, symbols, patterns, etc) that are used within RockWorks. The previous version buried these tables within the View/Preferences menu.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Cosmetic (10/29/03/JPR): The primary RockWorks interface has been redesigned such that the main options (Borehole Manager & Geological Utilities) are now selected via vertical tabs along the left edge of the screen.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/29/03/JPR): A new option titled "Network Users" has been added to the Help menu. This program will display a list of the users who are currently using the network version of RockWorks. This is useful when you are trying to figure out why there are no more "slots" available for other users (such as yourself).

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/29/03/JPR): A new option titled "Change Licensing" has been added to the Help menu. This will terminate RockWorks and display the RockWorks Licensing Options menu.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/29/03/JPR): A new type of license, called a "Multi-User/One-Computer License" has been added to the installation program. This type of license is designed for work environments in which several users will be using RockWorks on the same machine. This is an ideal configuration for universities in which the a machine is shared by multiple students.

The new licensing program also includes a new option for removing licensing (see base of image above).

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/29/03/JPR): During the installation/licensing, the program now creates the following folders;

My Documents / My RockWorks2004 Files
My Documents / My RockWorks2004 Files / Samples-
My Documents / My RockWorks2004 Files / System

The user-modifiable system files (e.g. the symbol and pattern tables) are copied to the "System" folder (see above) and the default paths within RockWorks are set to this folder. The program also copies all of the sample files into the "Samples" folder (see above) and the Project Folder is then set to this location. This eliminates the need to have write-privileges to the program directory for any RockWorks license configuration (i.e. trialware, single-user, multiple-user, network). As a consequence, the program is much more hospitable to tightly-controlled environments in which the end-users have limited privileges.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Bug Fix (10/20/03/JPR): Fixed Baseplate.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/20/03/JPR): A menu item titled "Surface Map" has been added to the Stratigraphy menu within the Borehole Manager.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/01/03/JPR): A new program titled "Plan" has been added to the Borehole Manager / P-Data menu. This program will create a grid model and contour map depicting a horizontal slice through a selected layer of the solid model. This program is identical to the I-Data / Plan program described below.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/01/03/JPR): A new program titled "Plan" has been added to the Borehole Manager / I-Data menu. This program will create a grid model and contour map depicting a horizontal slice through a selected layer of the solid model.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - New Feature (10/01/03/JPR): It is now possible to include contours lines when plotting 2-dimensional I-Data (e.g. geochemistry/geotechnical) and P-Data (e.g. geophysical) profiles.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (10/01/03/JPR): Contour map labels may now include an opaque background. This can help de-clutter a map within areas where the contours are very closely spaces.

RockWorks/2004 Beta - Improvement (10/01/03/JPR): The contour map labels within triangulation-based contour maps are now based on Windows fonts, resulting in a more professional appearance.
