Traverse Type Overview

In the Traverse Information dialog, there are seven different Traverse Types that can be defined in Dips.

Linear

A Linear Traverse can be any type of linear scanline on which orientation data is collected along a straight line with constant trend / plunge (e.g., scanline, tunnel wall mapping or processed borehole)

Planar

A Planar Traverse where joint measurements are collected on a 2D surface (e.g. wall mapping)

Linear Borehole Oriented Core

A Linear Borehole (Oriented Core) Traverse is an oriented core taken from a borehole which is assumed to have a constant orientation (trend / plunge)

NOTE: In Dips version 6 this was simply referred to as the Borehole Traverse type. In Dips version 7 the name has been changed to Linear BH Oriented Core, but the functionality is identical to the Dips version 6 Borehole Traverse type.

Linear Borehole Televiewer

A Linear Borehole (Televiewer) Traverse is a linear borehole in which the true joint orientations have been obtained from televiewer processing or other method (e.g., processed oriented core)

NOTE: A Linear BH Televiewer Traverse is exactly equivalent to a Linear Traverse, and is included for consistency with the naming conventions of the other Borehole Traverse types.

Curved Borehole Oriented Core

A Curved Borehole (Oriented Core) Traverse is an oriented core taken from a non-linear borehole, with borehole curvature defined by a survey file

Curved Borehole Televiewer

A Curved Borehole (Televiewer) Traverse is a non-linear borehole in which the true joint orientations have been obtained from televiewer processing or other method, and the borehole curvature is defined by a survey file

Clinorule

A Clinorule Traverse is a special type of Linear Traverse on which the joint measurements are recorded using a Clinorule
