Example 5
Example 5

This example shows a simplified version of the terrane theme.  The geology is classified according to TERRANE but the original nineteen terranes and overlap assemblages have been regrouped into 3 main categories.

The following files were used to draw this view:
  \circum\shp\geol5m\rox5mte.asx
  \circum\shp\base\w_mask.asx
  \circum\shp\base\hydro.asx

--------------------------------------------------
To reproduce this view, click the 'SurView' button to launch SurView to view these files. Then modify the display attributes to group the units into the three new classifications:

1. locate the 'Rox5mte.asx' Geology (Terrane) legend by re-arranging (dragging) the legend windows

2. right click on the 'Rox5mte.asx' Geology (Terrane) legend to display the legend configuration dialog box

3. click on the 'Edit...' button to display a dialog box for colour selection

4. select the first 'group' of units (eg. Cratonal terrane, Passive continental margin terrane, Metamorphosed continental margin terrane)

5. select a new colour from the colour chart to be applied to that 'group'

6. repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of the 3 groups

7. click the 'Ok' button to close the 'Edit' colour selection dialog box

8. click the 'Ok' button to close the legend configuration dialog box and redraw the picture
