自动绘制地质柱状图的新方法

A new method to map geological histograms

CorelDraw软件作为出版界认可的高质量通用绘图软件,具有人机交互能力强、速度快、占用硬件资源少等多种优点,在地质界也已被广泛应用.但应用CorelDraw软件在绘制地质柱状图时,只能手工绘制,而不能用批量数据直接成图,影响了地质研究的工作效率.本文应用VB对CorelDraw软件进行少量简单的编码,快速解决了这一相对复杂的问题.不仅加强了CorelDraw软件的自动绘图功能,而且提高了地质柱状图的绘制效率和精度,为绘制基于柱状图的各种复杂地质图件,尤其是绘制地质剖面图提供了高效易行的手段.

CorelDraw is the prevailing software that has been commonly used for graphic processing in the industry of publishing with such merits as friendly interface, high speed processing and less hardware resource occuoied. CorelDraw has been widely used for the science of geology as well. However, during the course of generating geological histograms with CorelDraw, the requirement to process mass batches of data and generate various styles of product has restrained those charts used for geological development expeditiously and efficiently. With respect to such bottleneck, being of the value for convenience of geological communication and cooperation, this article introduces a method of ordinary coding with VB6.0 to CorelDraw, which can not only strengthen its automatic graph automatic graphic generation function, but also increase the efficiency and precision of the geological histograms, especially for geological sections.
