Configuring Colour Bar Annotations

Insight’s colourbar annotations include a wide variety of configurations to best highlight information about your data.

See these pages to find the settings in different view types:

Colourbar Source

Enable these options to show colourbars for the items in the view.

  1. Volume: Show colourbars for the current volume or group
    • First only (group): Only show the colourbar of the first volume in the group
  2. Horizons (3D View, Map View): Show colourbars for the displayed horizon properties
    • First only (group): Only show the first colourbar of the surface groups
  3. Well Curves: Show colourbars for well curves of displayed wells.

Colourbars for volumes are always displayed before colourbars for horizons.

Colourbars are displayed for unique combinations of class and range. If two items share the same class and min-max value range, only one colourbar will be displayed.
