Python examples

Use either Python 2.7 or Python 3.x

These examples demonstrate how the SlideComposer features can be invoked with Python. The Python code is compliant with Techlog Python module and does not require installation of extra Python libraries within the Techlog program folder (which could be risky).

Clipping Techlog Plots

Use either inside or outside Techlog

Depending on the size of the well, Techlog tends to leave blank space at the bottom of the log plots. The Petronode.Clipimage utility is provided to crop the plots from top and bottom for use on montages. Besides the plot cropping, it is a convenient way to extract log inserts and other such graphics from plots.

Making a Blank Image

Use either inside or outside Techlog

Sometimes it may be useful to create a blank image (placeholder) from a Python script. The Petronode.BlankImage utility creates the image in the specified format.
