Artist Overview
Artist is Geologs application for creating and importing graphic objects and
pictures. With Artist you can:
Draw polylines and shapes that can be filled to create and maintain legends,
labels, and logos for internal company consistency.
Use grid snap drawing.
Enter and format text to be used as descriptive information, or as variables to
display constants such as well name, operator, etc.
Use a standard set of patterns and markers such as lithology and well symbols.
Import and enhance plot files and graphic images that have been created with
other Geolog applications and software packages.
Create a montage of imported drawings and drawn objects.
Build a portfolio of drawings to ensure consistency from project to project.
Creating Montages
The concept is to collect a group of computer graphics metafiles (CGM files) in Artist and
arrange these files according to your presentation requirements.
The arranged group of metafiles can be enhanced using text, polylines, shapes
and Artist-created legends, labels and logos.
The graphics can be sourced internally from Geolog or from an external source,
such as software-generated or scanned photographic images.
Artist Overview 2
www.fanarco.net
Portfolio Generation
When generating drawing and/or montage portfolios keep in mind the aspects of consistency
throughout all company projects. Montages and drawing layout may also need to adhere to
company standards.
Graphics Files
New (customized) lithology fill patterns and markers to be used in Geolog are created using
Artist. These fill patterns and markers are saved locally in the graphics subdirectory, or can be
copied to the site/graphics subdirectory for general company use.

Exercise 1
Grid Snap
The Grid Snap in Geolog is most useful for creating objects. The snap is based on
the mouse pointer, and therefore, it is important to click the mouse pointer near a
grid or select an object near a grid corner to achieve the best results.
When toggled on, an evenly spaced grid frame is overlaid on the picture (but not
visible unless View > Grids is also toggled on) and any points then default to the
nearest grid node. This applies when inserting new points, adjusting the size and
position of existing objects, and stretching the shape of objects.
Grid snap can be set to snap objects to a grid in either imperial or metric units, or
snap to other existing objects.
1.
2.
Select View > Grid Snap > 5 mm. This turns on a 5 mm metric units grid option.
3.
4.
5.
Select and move an objectwhile the grid is no longer visible, it is still active
until you select View > Grid Snap > None.
6.
Select View > Grid Snap > 1/2 inch to turn on the imperial units grid.
7.
Turn the grid display back on and then select Insert > Polyline.
www.fanarco.net
8.
Begin drawing a linenote that as you move the mouse, the line "snaps" to
the next grid line.
9.
Exercise 2
Drag
You can set the Drag option to horizontal or vertical to move, reposition and resize
objects by dragging in a specific direction. The default option, "Both", sets free
form editing.
1.
2.
Select an object and drag it around the screen. You will be able to move in a
horizontal direction only.
3.
4.
Select an object and stretch its size using the corner red control points.
5.
Select View > Drag > Both to reset to free form editing.

www.fanarco.net
Step 4: Tools
Procedure
Some of the tools available on Artists Tools menu, such as Fit and Bring Forward, have
already been covered in this tutorial. In this step, you will learn how to:
Use the Rotate commands to rotate drawings and Artist objects
Crop an image
Smooth a polyline using Spline
Create a legend of the image currently displayed on the screen
Create a custom marker for use within Geolog
Create a custom fill for use within Geolog
Exercise 1
Rotate
There are several Rotate commands in Artist.
Use geo.cgm to do the following:
1.
Select Tools > Rotate Drawing to rotate all the objects in the drawing in 90
clockwise increments.
This is a physical rotation, therefore, if the drawing is rotated and then plotted,
the plot is printed in the rotated position.
2.
To rotate individual objects, select the object(s) and select Tools > Rotate...
The degree of rotation permitted depends on the type of object(s) selected.
3.
To rotate the drawing for viewing only, use View > Rotate.
The drawing is rotated for viewing but, if plotted, prints in the position it was
originally drawn.
Step 4: Tools 34
www.fanarco.net
Origin Set
Use the Origin Set tool to set the paper coordinates of a drawing. This is useful, for
example, when using the Actual Size & Position option when importing files into an
Artist picture.
Exercise 2
Crop Image
Cropping an image is simply cutting out a section of the image. Only true bit
mapped images (such as those imported from other formats) can be cropped.
To crop an image
1. Open logo.cgm.
2.
3.
Select Tools > Crop Image. If Crop Image is grayed out, ungroup the picture
and select Crop Image again.
Step 4: Tools 35

Exercise 4
Legend
The Legend tool automatically creates a legend based on the contents of the
currently displayed picture. Both Marker (symbol / point) and Fill (pattern /
lithology) legends can be created. These are placed on the screen within a box
positioned by the user.
For both markers and fills, the legend contains the following:

6.
Use the mouse pencil to click where you want the upper right hand corner of
the box to start and then drag out the shape of a box. The legend is generated
and displayed.
7.
Repeat the process for Tools > Legend > Fill (Lithology).
Step 4: Tools 38
www.fanarco.net
Palette Legend
Another tool, Artist > Palette Legend, generates a complete legend of all items in
the library files of Geolog for Marker Symbols, Fill Patterns or Colors. These are
the formatting features displayed on the Appearance palette.
The generated legend is a CGM file designed to be plotted on A4 sheets. It is
generated and displayed on the screen, and can then be saved to a file or plotted
directly from Geolog.
Step 4: Tools 39
www.fanarco.net
Exercise 5
Creating Markers
The Appearance palette contains an extensive selection of markers using standard
symbols. User defined markers can also be created using drawing objects detailed
in this tutorial, or by copying and modifying markers included in Geolog.
Important
Save the drawing:
- In the site or project graphics directory
- Use the naming convention <markername>.marker
- With Picture Type set to MARKER
- With a unique name. Care needs to be taken when naming markers. If the name of a marker
is the same as one of the existing, standard markers stored in the Geolog software
installation directory, the new marker will be available in the Appearance palette but the
standard marker will not be available.
To create a marker
1. Set the size of the drawing area to 4 x 4 in (10 x 10 cm).
2.
Draw a marker shape using polylines, circles, etc. When the marker is saved,
all objects are converted to polylines.
A single color can be specified. If more than one color is used, the color of the
last object drawn is the color used to save the marker (e.g., if you draw a red
circle and then draw a green rectangle, the entire marker will be saved in
green).
Step 4: Tools 40
www.fanarco.net
3.
4.
You must restart Artist in order to see your new marker in the Appearance
palette.
Step 4: Tools 41
www.fanarco.net
Exercise 6
Important
Save the drawing:
- in the site or project graphics directory
- use the naming convention <fillname>.fill
- with Picture Type set to FILL
- with a unique name. Care needs to be taken when naming fills. If the name of a fill is the
same as one of the existing, standard fills stored in the Geolog software installation
directory, the new fill will be available in the Appearance palette but the standard fill will not
be available.
To create a fill pattern
1. Set the size of the drawing area to 4 x 4 in (10 x 10 cm).
2.
3.
Step 4: Tools 42
www.fanarco.net

5.
You must restart Artist in order to see your new marker in the Appearance
palette.
Step 4: Tools 43
www.fanarco.net
World Position
Artist pictures can be displayed in other Geolog applications as background
pictures (e.g., a contour map displayed as a background on a project well
location map).
The World Position option (Edit > World Position...) is used to translate the
coordinates of the CGM plot file (paper) into the coordinates used by your
projection (world). World Position is covered in further detail in the Project tutorial.
Step 4: Tools 44
www.fanarco.net
Overview
The use of variable text is important, as each well header will require different
information for each well. To create an individual CGM header for each well would
be tedious and, to speed things up, we use variable text. This text uses { } to
define the variable and the syntax is set.log (e.g., {constant.well}), where the set
name is constant (relates to Well_Header set, or the well constant set) and well is
the identification name for the well.
Exercise 1
3.
These values may need to be changed based on the size of the display in which
the header is to be used (e.g., the width of the Well layout).
Geolog 6.6 - Artist Tutorial

4.
Select View > Grid Snap and set the grid snap to 1/8 inch (2 mm) to
accurately align the text and graphics used in creating the header.
5.
Select View > Grids to display the chosen grid pattern. Points will now
automatically snap to the grid vertex. Your screen should now look similar to
Figure 19.
