Text Property Tab

The Text Property tab, found on the Time Slice Property Page dialog box, provides options for you to add text labels to your time slice results in the map. You can display up to four parameters to see how the quantity changes over time.

You'd select this option if you're interested in seeing the data only, and you do not want to see the differences represented by either a time slice bubble or a pie.

You may already be used to seeing these parameters in your tickets, but the information may not be the same. For example, the cumulative oil that displays in the well ticket is for the entire life of the well, while the cumulative oil in the time slice is up to the end of the time slice period.

Create time slice labels

Select the Show Text Only check box if you only want to display text labels in your map; otherwise, clear this check box and you can set to display both text labels and a bubble or a pie with each well.
In the Results List list, select for which result list to draw time slice labels.
In the Parameters and Positions box, select up to four labels to display with each well. The graphic to the left of each list shows where in relation to the well symbol the label will appear: either above, below, to the left, or to the right. For example, in the first graphic, the little black box appears in the top of the graphic , which signifies that if you select a label parameter from this list, the label will appear above the well symbol in the map.

In the Precision list beside each parameter, select the number of decimal places you want to see for that label.
Click <OK> to draw your labels (and if you haven't selected the Show Text Only check box, to also draw your bubbles or pies) and close the dialog box, or click <Apply> to draw your labels (and bubbles or pies if applicable) and keep the dialog box open to continue to edit what's displayed.

Change the font and color for each label

By default each text label appears in the Courier New font style and in the color black. However, you can decide to change the font for all the labels and the color for each of the labels. Follow these steps:

Click the color box to the right of any parameter list to open the Color dialog box, and change the color of the font for that label type. Read more about setting colors

Try to set your time slice pies to a color not already heavily used in the map. This will make smaller pies easier to spot.

Click <Font>, located below the Parameters and Positions box, to open the Font dialog box, where you can select the font type, style, and size. The change you make to the font applies to all the labels. You cannot modify the font for individual time slice labels.
