WinFence Library Features

Libraries are used to store lithologic bitmaps that can be used for the strata symbols. Each library contains 18 bitmap symbols. WinFence comes with several previously-defined libraries. In addition, any number of new libraries can be created, making the number of lithologic symbols available unlimited.

When a legend is created, the default description can be used for the symbol description of the legend. If this description is then edited in the legend, the new description will only appear in that legend. The new description in the legend will not replace the default description in the library. To change the default description, the description must be changed in the library as discussed below. However, the actual symbols are the same in the legend as in the library and, if edited in the library, the symbols in the legend will change as well.

Libraries are stored in the master project database so they are accessible by all programs. The format of the master database is Microsoft Access 97. This database is stored in the Main Database Directory.

The creation and editing of libraries is supported by the following features:

  • An unlimited number of symbol libraries can be created.
  • Each library contains up to 18 symbols.

  • Each symbol also has a default symbol description stored in the library that is used when creating legends.
  • Default symbol descriptions can contain rich text.

  1. Symbols can be edited and created within the program.
  2. Symbols can be imported from bitmap files.
