Eddie, I thank you for your generosity, and I will PM you with my e-mail address.
The image of a borehole log is (and in reality) a set of pictures of various rock types. Each type has its own unique signature of pattern, color, texture, etc. Primarily as a teaching adjunct, being able to place an actual image of a rock on top of another image of a different rock can be helpful. For most of my commercial customers, it is not; for their customers, it might be! Manipulating the image is something I may add later on, time permitting.
What the geologist will do is to 'correlate' the logs, finding the seams of interest in common between the logs, and performing analysis of those seams as if they are a contiguous entity. Creating 3-D contours is one of the outcomes of performing the correlation. The 'Distance' button shows the logs in relative position to each other, rather than just side by side. The geologist will use their own knowledge of the area to eliminate logs that could not contain the seam of interest to ease the processing. In the past, this was done by generating paper strips of logs whose rock types are represented by specific symbologies, and placing these on a wall in relative position to each other to perform this correlation activity. While the entire data set might consist of several hundred logs, they typically deal with about 50 or so, and break the project into manageable chunks. My software will allow them to define the chunks using geographic coordinates, process/correlate these chunks, then coalesce these chunks into progressively larger data sets as the analysis progresses.
I have attached a link to B&W image of what the current application shows when enabling 'Images'.
