Example Templates
This page contains example chart templates in StrataBugs SBG files which you can download and import using Organiser.

Panel Templates
Basic Biostrat |
Basic species distribution with analyses column. The Micro panel includes a panel total column. Uses "quant/semi-quant" abundance style, which means semi-quant abundances are printed as labels only. |
|
|
Categories Closure |
"Closure" diagram which shows the relative abundance of taxa in different categories. Occurrences are grouped by category, calculated as relative to the total micro count, and displayed as a stacked sawtooth diagram in the category colours. |
To use groups instead of categories, create a group set containing the desired groups and restrict the outer panel to it. Then change "grouping" to "group". |
|
Event Age |
Visually compares the actual and theoretical sequence of events. Columns show occurrence data for species linked to events in a composite standard (one column per event - some species may be repeated), sorted by event age. All picked events related to the taxon are shown in the column; the colour change indicates the position of the column event (a starker more pronounced colour change indicates a more confident event). Unpicked events show in white. Analyses are not distributed - they show at their true positions, aligned with event ticks. |
Match "Dummy Composite" to your own composite standard (whose events must be linked to taxa). |
|
Benthic Forams |
Shows the ratio of agglutinating to calcareous foraminifera. The outer panel is restricted to the FOB category (benthic foraminifera); one inner panel per FOB subcategory represented in the data (commonly FOBA and FOBC). Counts of individual species are shown as a percentage of the total FOB count. |
This panel may not work as intended if you have modified the category FOB or its subcategories. |
|
Richness and Diversity |
Comparison of total count, species richness (number of distinct species), and two measures of diversity (Shannon and Fisher's Alpha). Analyses are not distributed. |
You may need to adjust the horizontal scales. |
Block Templates
A basic depth/age well block template showing events, occurrences, event confidence and a simple composite standard header. The file also contains a scheme block; this is used as the header for the main panel. The composite standard in this header will only show events which occur in the well (the "filter" property). When plotting a well, you will need to set the horizontal (age) scale. |
Match "Dummy Composite" to your own composite standard. |
|
An extension of the above show show chronostratigraphy interpretations. This is a multi-block chart with a template block. The file contains a chart and 3 block templates: (1) the depth/age well block above, modified to show chronostratigraphy zones; (2) the depth/age scheme block header, as above, but also including a chronostratigraphy scheme panel; (3) a simple scheme block showing chronostratigraphy, to which you could add other panels such as sequence. When you open this chart as a tab for any well in Samples & Interpretations, the scheme block will be scaled using the well's depth/age curve: it will show you the chronostratigraphy you would expect to see given the current curve. It will update as you modify the curve. |
Match "Dummy Composite" to your own composite standard. You could match GTS2012 to a different chronostratigraphy scheme. |
