Abstract: A system, a method, and a graphics user interface for displaying an indexed data set in a window on a computer display device has a pane in which indexed data is displayed at a different level of resolution from data displayed outside of the pane. The pane may be moved within the window. The window may further include at least one side pane which is used to display data at yet another level of resolution.

Abstract: In a method for a well logging data presentation, data sets are identified from well logging data. Each data set is assigned a unique identifier. A presentation template, which defines a presentation for the well logging data, is configured. The presentation for the logging data may be in the form of a display and/or a hard copy. The presentation template includes definitions of a number of component presentations. Each component presentation includes a corresponding component template. Each component template includes a pointer pointing to a source for one of the data sets and defines a structure for the component's presentation. A graphical presentation program generates the presentation, responsive to reading the presentation template, component templates and data sets. The presentation can be viewed and changed while data is still being acquired.
