3D Classed Post - External Data

Classed post plots are a powerful tool for understanding the spatial distribution of particular constituents. Queries are applied to select data. Color-coded symbols posted at monitoring locations are based on grouping the data into discrete classes (bins). The color and radius of the symbol are dependent on the value of the selected constituent at that monitoring location. In three-dimensional classed post plots, the well screen or measurement interval is colored according to the corresponding value measured at that point.

This routine generates 3D classed post plots from point data stored in text files. Each record has the X-Y-Z coordinates and a data value. The files can be comma-delimited or space-delimited. The control options are the same as the 3D classed post options used with measured data from a database.

To create a 3D classed post plots using external data, click Plot> External Data from the main menu and select 3D Classed Post. The Classed Post dialog box opens. Modify the properties on the Query tab, Intervals tab, Options tab, Grid tab, and Legend tab as desired. Click the OK button to save changes.
