Geoscience Library Q&A


  • Q1. Can I draw anything I want on top of INT widgets?

  • Q2. My INT widgets are core dumping when destroyed. I am running on Solaris 2.5.1 and INT Release 3.2.

  • Q3. When I try to output a very large PostScript file my application is core dumping, why?

  • Q4. I am setting XmNtitleAlignment resource to XintALIGNMENT_BEGINNING, but see no change on the screen. I am using CDE rather than Motif.


  • Seismic/Segy/Picking


  • Q5. How do I change the color of my crosshair/rubberband lines?

  • Q6. How do I change the color of my traces?

  • Q7. How do I create a scaled PostScript file for my Seismic display?

  • Q8. I am using AddPoint to add 20,000 points in a picking record which is way too slow. What do I do?

  • Q9. How do I work with auto picked points if I want to supply an extra picking routine?

  • Q10. I want to be able to insert my own snap callback, and/or my own tracker callback. How do I do that?

  • Q11. How do I update my trace display without flashing?

  • Q12. How do I add extra traces to my INT Seismic widget without excessive flashing?

  • Q13. When I zoom on an empty Seismic widget I get a warning message about min and max normalization limits, how do I turn that off?

  • Q14. When computing the max amplitude for a data set, the widget only looks at first 250 traces. This can sometimes cause scaling to be incorrect.

  • Q15. How does one supply their own filter to Seismic widget?

  • Q16. How do I do an inplace zoom, but keep my entire dataset visible?

  • Q17. My title keeps changing colors although I never change background color, why?

  • Q18. How can I specify a reference value for the display of several seismic widgets?

  • Q19. I get a bus error when I call XintSeismicGetPixmapInfo, why?

  • Q20.When I use the XintSeismicAreaSelectionCallback to define a region for zooming, it uses both primary and secondary keys for selection, rather than sequential trace number which makes the zoom wrong. What do I do?

  • Q21. I am trying to set my annotation to Offset but the annotation only gives me an Offset for the first trace and then nothing, what is wrong?

  • Well Log


  • Q22. How do you get a wrap-around on the WellLog widget?

  • Q23. Can a 2nd applicationShellWidgetClass be used with the xintWellLogWidgetClass widget as a manager with the child widgets displaying correctly.

  • Q24. I want to label an xintAxisWidgetClass from 1.95 to 2.95 but the axis shows 1.95 - 3.00 and labels 2.0 and 3.0.

  • Q25. How do I set the grid resources for the WellLog widget?

  • Q26. When I have several Track widgets of different sizes in a WellLog widget and do a resize making the window smaller, the smallest track disappears. How do I fix this?

  • Q27. How does one delete a marker and have it actual disappear from the screen?

  • Q28. How do I display the well log curve from left to right rather than up and down?


  • Contour


  • Q29. How does one "flip" the annotation on the Contour widget.

  • Q30. My color contour widget output to PostScript ignores my resource color_model of XintMONOCHROME and is output in color, why?


  • Graphic/EditObject


  • Q31. My application keeps bombing when I try to use a Text object, why?

  • Q32. How do I find the value of my Polyline when I shift the entire line?

  • Q33. How does one get a locator callback on a Polyline overlaying a Contour widget?

  • Q34. How do I control viewing INT objects on the screen if I cannot manage and unmanage them?


  • PlotXY


  • Q35. In PlotXY, when using the resource XmNlineStyle set to XintLINE_DOUBLE_DASH how does one set the two colors for the double dashes?

  • Q36. How do I do an inplace zoom, but keep my entire PlotXY visible?
