Drawing Prompts
To draw objects, select the object type from the Insert menu or click the relevant button on the Insert
toolbar.
Fig. 1: Insert toolbar
Once an object type is selected for drawing, the status bar displays prompts (instructions) on how to insert
that object.
For instance, the prompts for inserting a circular arc are as follows:
• Position centre point
• Drag to desired size
• Position start of arc
• Position end of arc
To execute each prompt, the user clicks the left mouse button, or drags the mouse, where required in the
drawing area.
In Fig. 2 a circular arc object is being inserted into the drawing.

Inserting a Link
A link provides an import reference to another drawing. For example, this means that if you make changes
to mypicture.cgm, the changes are reflected in any drawing that contains a link to mypicture.cgm. This
saves disk space and eases maintenance.
To insert a link
NOTE Artist can only recognize and update linked files that are in CGM format.
1. Select one of the following:

— Right-click and select Link from the menu displayed.
— Click the Link button

— Select Insert > Link.
The cursor changes to a cross.
2. Follow the "Drawing Prompts" on page 2-2 displayed on the Status Bar to insert a frame.
Once the frame has been drawn, the Link Edit dialog box is displayed.
Frame where linked image is to be placed.
3. Set the options in the Link Edit dialog box as follows:
a. File Name—click the button to open the File Select dialog box and select the image to
insert and link to and click Open.

When inserting a linked image the Files of type field is
set to *.cgm as Geolog can only link CGM files.
b. Scaling:
a. If the frame is smaller than the linked image, the Scaling option is ignored and the image
will be proportionally resized to fit the frame.
b. If the frame is larger than the linked image, selecting YES will insert the image
proportionally larger. Selecting NO will insert the image at exactly the same size. See
also "Image Size" on page 2-19.
If the Scaling option is set to YES after the image is inserted, the image will stretch to
fill the frame.
c. Position—use these values to precisely change the position/frame size after the linked image
has been inserted; the linked image is scaled to fit the frame.
d. Click OK and the linked image is displayed in the frame you have drawn. (The frame
"disappears" when you deselect the image.)

mypicture.cgm (original image)
mypicture2.cgm—picture containing link to mypicture.cgm
Now, whenever the original image (in this example, mypicture.cgm) is changed, the change
will be automatically displayed in the image containing the link (in this example, in
mypicture2.cgm).
NOTE The change is not dynamic and if a change is made to the linked image, the picture
containing the link must be closed and then reopened for the change to be displayed.

mypicture.cgm changed
When mypicture2.cgm (picture containing link to

mypicture.cgm) is opened, change is automatically displayed.
To edit / format the linked image

• Select the image, then:
— Use the control points of the frame to resize.
— Use the middle mouse button to move.
Or
Double-click the image to reopen the Link Edit dialog box to make adjustments to the position.
Image Size
When an image is created, if there is any "white space" around the image it will affect the way the image is
inserted and linked into other drawings. Therefore, if possible, remove all unnecessary white space from an
image before inserting.

In Fig. 6, the image size and the picture size are the same when saved (Tools > “Fit” on page 4-10 was
selected to remove the extra space), and therefore, there is no white space around the image. When this
image is inserted into another picture, it can be sized as required.
Image and picture are the same size

- no white space (note rulers).
mypicture.cgm inserted
into new Artist picture
Image is inserted and linked into another picture, displaying

as required.
Fig. 6: Inserting an image with no white space
In Fig. 7, the image is smaller than the picture size when saved—there is white space around the image.
When the image is inserted into another picture, it cannot be sized as required, as the white space is now
part of the image.

Image and picture are different sizes - white
space all around picture (note rulers).
mypicture3.cgm inserted
into new Artist picture
Image is inserted and linked into another pictre but is

smaller because the white space is also imported.

Option Description
Image Size
Where applicable, the cursor changes to a cross after Open has been clicked and prompts will
be displayed on the status bar indicating what actions need to be taken.
The options available are:

Actual Size and Position: The picture will be automatically inserted into the drawing in the
same location and at the same size as the original picture.
Actual Size: You will be prompted to position the corner of the area (left bottom
corner) that the picture is to be inserted at. The picture will be
inserted at the selected location at the same size as the original
picture.
Uniform Scale: You will be prompted to insert the corners of a frame. The picture
will be proportionally inserted into the location and size of the
frame drawn.
Scale: You will be prompted to insert the corners of a frame. The picture
will be non-proportionally inserted into the location and size of the
frame drawn.

Creating Markers
The “Appearance Window” on page 5-7 contains an extensive selection of markers using standard symbols.
User defined markers can also be created using the drawing tools in Artist, or by copying and modifying the
markers provided with Geolog.
NOTE 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 window but the standard marker will not
be available.
NOTE Image files (bitmaps) should not be used as markers. If a bitmap is saved as a marker, the
resulting file when opened will be empty.
To create a marker
1. Click the Properties button or select Edit > Properties and set the size of the drawing
area to 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in).
2. Draw the marker shape using polylines, circles, etc.; when the marker is saved, all objects are
converted to polylines.
3. 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 is saved in green).
4. Save the drawing (select File > Save File As):
— in the site or project graphics directory. You may need to create a graphics directory if one
does not already exist.
— ensure the Files of type: field is set to Geolog Marker file (*.marker).
— use the naming convention <markername>.marker.
5. Artist must be restarted to access the newly created marker from the Appearance window.

Creating Fill Patterns
When fills are created, they are not scaled. The fill pattern is repeated multiple times in the area being
filled. To create a scaled fill (one where the pattern stretches across the area being filled) a pattern file
created as above must be edited using a text editor. The first line of the file defines the scale type.
For example:
/* VECTOR: Sandstone */ - not scaled
/* VECTOR SCALED: Cement plug */ - scaled
The “Appearance Window” on page 5-7 contains an extensive selection of fills. User defined fill patterns are
created using standard shapes and lines in black with an optional colored background.
NOTE Image files (bitmaps) should not be used as fills. If a bitmap is saved as a fill, the file will
be empty.
To create a fill pattern

1. Open a new artist drawing.
2. Select Edit > Properties.
3. Set the size of the drawing area to 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in).
4. If required, select a background color (see “Using the Appearance Window” on page 5-8).
5. Draw the fill pattern using polylines, circles, etc as detailed in the "Object Types" on page 2-5
section.
6. Save the drawing (select File > Save As):
— in the site or project graphics directory. You may need to create a graphics directory if one
does not already exist.
— use the naming convention <fillname>.fill.
— ensure the Picture Type is set to FILL.
NOTE 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.
7. The Artist application must be restarted to access the newly created fill pattern from the
Appearance palette.
Example: Creating a Specific Lithology Symbol
The following procedure details an example workflow to create a specific lithology symbol for calcareous
siltstone.
To create a specific lithology symbol

1. Within Artist, select File > Open to display a “File Select Dialog Box” on page 1-28.
2. Navigate to the graphics folder in the installation directory, for example, Paradigm/
<geolog_installation>/graphics and open an existing .fill file, for example, st.fill.

3. Select Edit > Properties to display the Properties dialog box.
4. Click in the Background field to display the appearance attributes and change the color to
turquoise.

5. Click OK to apply the new Background color.
6. Add a new symbol or pattern using the drawing "Object Types" on page 2-5.
7. Select File > Save As and save the file to your projects graphics directory with a new name
such as cair_st.fill.

NOTE The new file, cair_st.fill can be used in a layout to fill any lithology interpretation.
