Seismic Traces palette
Geologists and earth scientists often have to use seismic files in their studies and various reports.
The Seismic Traces palette was designed to allow professionals to examine traces in imported CGM
files.
To perform any operations on Seismic Trace objects they must be selected. If Seismic Trace objects
are grouped, they have to be ungrouped.
To open the Seismic Traces palette:
Choose Window | Palettes | Seismic Traces.
If a trace does not contain seismic data, no wiggle or background image creating can be
performed on the trace. Such a trace might be imported from a CGM file with a background
image already created; however, if the user erases that background image using the Purge
button, it is only possible to recreate the background image via the Undo command. Refrain
from performing background image operations on traces that do not contain seismic data.
