(413) Improvement (09/20/2023/MIW): The base lines for Interval Text samples will now draw on compiled log when the check box to Frame Sample is enabled.


(412) Bug Fix (09/11/2023/MIW): Access Violation error when closing LogPlot fixed.


(411) Improvement (08/18/2023/MIW): Closing LogPlot now shows an option in the dialog box to close all open LogView tabs without saving.


(410) Improvement (06/16/2023/MIW): The program to save to RockWorks project as an XML file has been updated. The Save button saves the template info to where the template file name edit indicates, even if it is in a different folder.


(409) Bug Fix (06/16/2023/MIW): Added wrapping option for when a curve drops below the minimum range value.


(408) Bug Fix (06/16/2023/MIW): Compiled logs using the Column Outline tool in the log body section now load correctly.


(407) Bug Fix - Licensing (04/28/2023/JCJ): If a user has a floating license checked out and then tries to connect to the License Server, the licensing will indicate the user already has a license checked-out (as floating) and read that license from the local computer's disk. However, if the user's local floating license has become corrupted or otherwise invalid, the licensing falls back to try Trialware licensing. If the user then tries to connect to the server from the Network Licensing tab of the licensing dialog, the licensing will now warn the user the License is already checked out on loan. To rectify the problem the license must be manually "returned" from the "RockWare Network License Administrator" (run on the server) from the Tools | View User Status - Clear User button. The user can then click on the "connect" button to reestablish a normal network license.


(406) Bug Fix (04/24/2023/MIW): The data editor now preserves multiple spaces entered within a cell while editing point data similar to a tab.


(405) Improvement (04/24/2023/MIW): Vertical Text can now be forced to display some amount of the text when the string is longer than the depth interval. This option was added to the LogDesign file when adding verical text to the Log Body.


(404) Improvement (03/29/2023/MIW): The in program batch files (.btsc8) can now be run from the command line. The batch dialog has been expanded to include both Save and Save As buttons.


(403) Improvement (03/27/2023/MIW): The LogPlot batch program now output the btc8 file in a more readable XML format.


(402) Improvement (03/15/2023/MIW): A footer to bottom of page margin has been added for logs compiled with page breaks. By default this will be set to 0 for backwards compatibility.


(401) Bug Fix (03/02/2023/MIW): The Unlocking code override works again. The inherited ancestor constructor was not being called.


(400) Bug Fix (02/24/2023/MIW): Well Construction patterns with a non-zero inner diameter now always plot the pattern.


(399) Improvement (02/13/2023/MIW): Log Designer property dialogs are now placed to minimize the overlap with their associated item.


(398) Improvement (02/08/2023/MIW): Depth grids in curves, cross plots and bar graphs can now be plotted in relation to elevation. Horizontal lines plotted with automatic intervals can also be plotted in relation to elevation.

(396) Improvement (12/22/2022/JCJ): Better auto-populating when creating a Batch File; the LPT and PDF file names are filled-in based on the data file name.


(395) Improvement (12/22/2022/JCJ): LAS Import now allows limiting the decimal places for floating point values from the "Options" tab. If the "Limit Decimal Places" is checked, the importer will limit the decimal places, otherwise they will be imported as is. Previously some floating point values were being truncated.


(394) Bug Fix (12/21/2022/MIW): Logarithmic value grids will now plot correctly as long as the minimum value is 1 or less.


(393) Updated File (11/14/2022/JCJ): Update to file LogPlot8.xsd - Added the definition for ColorTable entries and adjusted some other values. The LogPlot ldat8 files are the same format for LogPlot8 and LogPlot 2022. This definition file requires the blocks be in a specific order that LogPlot does not require. LogPlot also does not require multiple blocks for a given type to be together, instead the order of the blocks determine the order of the pages in the data editor. Therefore the xsd file may not validate a perfectly acceptable ldat8 file. The LogPlot8.xsd is installed with LogPlot in C:\ProgramData\RockWare\LogPlot folder.


(392) Improvement (11/08/2022/JCJ): Improvement to the File | Save to RockWorks DB, Options window: The template, file name edit, now changes the file name to use the current folder and allows the browse function to accept a file name that does not exist.


(391) Improvement (10/14/2022/MIW): The Curve column can now be displayed with Symbols and Fill. Note: Use high luminosity colors to keep the background light.

(382) Improvement (08/25/2022/MIW): In the footer, users can display static text or a static note. These items of interest are chosen by using a macros menu in the set up dialog. An option to show scale for the log has now been added to the macro list.


(381) Improvement (08/24/2022/MIW): Users can now add a second line for Titles they wish to show in the Header Column.


(380) Improvement (07/15/2022/MIW): Improved the centering of descending text in the Column Legend in both the LogDesigner and LogView.


(379) Improvement (06/21/2022/JCJ): The original behavior of closing the application if the Trial had expired, has been restored. LogPlot will offer the Licensing screen so the user can license it, but if left unlicensed will close LogPlot.


(378) Improvement (06/06/2022/MIW): The LogPlot Lithology Descriptions placements are now calculated all at once to improve the accuracy of description placement on long logs. While there is a slight increase in the display speeds initially, successive page displays are faster.


(377) Update (06/01/2022/MIW): LogPlot now uses the path of the existing file in the Save As dialog for Log Design, Log View, Data Edit and Template files. If the current file hasn't been saved the path will default to the Project Folder.


(376) Improvement (06/01/2022/MIW): LogPlot now retains the number of decimals originally entered for interval values displayed as text.


(375) New Feature (05/27/2022/MIW): The title in the Column Legend can now be oriented vertically, either descending or ascending.


(374) Improvement (05/26/2022/JCJ): Made adding additional fields to the Well Information and Parameters tabs of the LAS export easier and improved going to/from csv files.


(373) Update (05/19/2022/JCJ): If LogPlot2022 is un-licensed the program will check the LogPlot8 license file and create an equivalent license file for LogPlot2022 in the appropriate folder. (C:\ProgramData\RockWare\LogPlot)


(372) Improvement (05/18/2022/MIW): The Lithology data editor no longer deletes entries that are missing a depth top as long as something has been entered on that row.


(371) New Feature (05/18/2022/MIW): An option has been added to the System Settings that cause the grid editor to jump to the next line when the Enter key is pressed. This can be enabled/disabled in the *Options *System Settings menu.


(370) Improvement (04/08/2022/MIW): Exported pattern fill on log body now more closely match the patterns on screen.


(370) Bug Fix (04/08/2022/MIW): The LogPlot raster exports are fixed to provide enough space and include the margins.

(368) Improvement (03/30/2022/MIW): Users can import a LAS file that doesn't reference a well name in the file.


(367) New Feature (02/21/2022/MIW): Added a Column Legend option to the Log Design Header that draws a rectangle around the title the user chooses. The rectangle will now move and size itself to a linked log body column.


(366) New Feature (02/14/2022/MIW): A body outline entity has been added to LogPlot and can be used to surround a depth bar or the entire log body. Users can choose a line style and color and optionally select a solid fill.

(349) Upload (03/31/2021/MMM): Verson 2021.3.31 uploaded to the RockWare website.


(348) Bug Fix (03/15/2021/MIW): Point Data (curves, text, etc) with duplicate depths did not sort correctly. Now the data is tested for duplicate depths and if found the point data is not sorted.


(347) Bug Fix (03/15/2021/MIW): The background value grid for non one based logarithmic scales (eg. 0.2 to 2000) is now plotted correctly.


(346) Bug Fix (03/08/2021/JCJ): If you open a project folder into LP8 which includes a RockWorks database, you'll see the list of borehole names in the project manager under the RockWorks Boreholes heading. Click on a few of these borehole names to select them, right-click and select Compile Selected Data Files. RockWorks boreholes - compile selected holes now reads selected holes in order to compile the logs in LogPlot8 instead of trying to save them.


(345) Improvement (03/08/2021/JCJ): Batch Files now store 9 Significant Digits for scale.


(344) Improvement (03/08/2021/JCJ): You can enter a non-breaking space in the RTF editor by typing either Alt+0160 or Alt+255. This depends on the setup of your computer and keyboard. (Non-breaking space has code point 255 decimal (FF hex) in codepage 437 and codepage 850 and code point 160 decimal (A0 hex) in codepage 1252.)


(343) Bug Fix (03/08/2021/JCJ): If a formatted description (e.g. Lithology description, Edit Notes) ended with some formatting like bold or a different color, once you left the editor the entire description would be assigned that formatting. Fixed so that the Font is now reset between the calls.


(342) Bug Fix (03/05/2021/JCJ): The RTF control (in the description editor) always adds an ending \par (Paragraph marker). The conversion to HTML changes this into a line break tag ("<br>") which would add an extra line to the description, so we delete it. If there was and empty set of formatting tags ("<b>" and "</b>") the removal of the "<br>" was not done correctly. Now we delete the rtf \par marker instead.


(341) Bug Fix (03/05/2021/JCJ): When editing a datasheet's cell, the program creates an "In-place editor" where you actually edit the cell's contents or click on the button at the end of the cell (or double click) for an edit dialog. The dialog that comes up was writing back to the cell but not to the in-place editor. When you go off to another cell the in-place editor was placing its text back in the cell overwriting the previous text. Now the text is also placed back in the in-place editor. This affected formatted text, colors, dates, lines and symbols.


(340) Bug Fix (02/26/2021/MIW): Vertical Text with left or right justification and no margin no longer overplots the interval line.

You will be prompted to type in a new name for the new keyword, then you can adjust the pattern/colors as desired.

LogPlot Copy Keyword


(335) Bug fix (02/17/2021/TC): In the data grid, Edit/Undo, Control Z are now working.

LogPlot Undo


(334) Improvement (01/21/2021/JCJ): RockWorks 20 and LogPlot 8 installers now include the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio. Visual C++ Redistributable Packages installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries on a computer that does not have Visual C++ installed. The libraries are required to run applications that are developed by using the corresponding version of Visual C++. Although RockWorks 20 and LogPlot 8 are not written in C++ we use third party libraries that are written in C++. For instance some of the powerful imaging in our products is assisted with the Envision Image Library which interns makes use of the open source FreeImage library to support popular graphics image formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF and others. The FreeImage library relies on some files from the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
