Title: Computer plotting of drill hole geochemical data (SECTION. Rev 1 user's guide)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5285708· OSTI ID:5285708

SECTION is a program package that provides plots of core sample geochemical data for any or all drill holes in a given area projected onto any predetermined section line. Plot size is user-defined by keyboard input. Holes are plotted in cross section as straight lines defined by collar coordinates, bearing angle, dip angle and length. The program is applicable to small problem areas with relatively short drill holes that are approximately straight. The program is implemented on the University of Utah UNIVAC 1108 computer system. The plotting functions are accomplished by using a plotting library that is similar to a Calcomp subroutine library.
