Stacked Fill Curves
The stacked fill display shows a set of log curves with each curve added, or stacked, above the previous one. The area between the curves is filled with a selected colour and/or pattern and lines are drawn at at each curve.
Common uses of stacked fills include:
- Stacked display of Spectral Gamma Ray (Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium) logs
- Combining separate indicator logs (mineralogy flags from petrophysics)

Creating Stacked Fills
- In an existing track, right-click and choose Add stacked fill.
- A stacked fill curve is added to the track.
- The curves in the track are hidden and are included in the stacked fill.
- Note: Enable the curves to include their unstacked values in the track.
The stacked fill is generated from other curves in the track. To include additional curves in the stacked fill, they must be added to the track first.
Configuring a Stacked Fill
- The curves included in the fill are listed.
- Click the blue (+) icon to add a row.
- Click the red (x) icon to remove a row.
- In each row:
- Reorder curves by clicking and dragging the handle on the left.
- Select a curve to include in the stacking.
- Pick a suitable fill colour and/or pattern.
- In the Display panel
- Adjust line colour and width to control the line drawn between the filled sections.
