Tutorial: Render a Well Log

Tracks, curves, LAS parsing and layout

You will build: a multi-track well log canvas. Time: about 15 minutes. Prerequisites: Beep.Skia and Beep.Skia.WellLogs.

1. Canvas and tracks

WellLogCanvas owns the depth range and the track list; WellLogTemplates provides ready-made track sets (gamma ray, resistivity, density, neutron, sonic).

using Beep.Skia;
using Beep.Skia.WellLogs;

var manager = new DrawingManager();

var canvas = new WellLogCanvas
{
    X = 40, Y = 40, Width = 900, Height = 520,
    DepthFrom = 1000, DepthTo = 1500
};
manager.AddComponent(canvas);

2. Data

LAS 2.0/3.0 files parse into curve data plus the well header; the renderer draws curves, fills and lithology patterns.

// var log = LasParser.Parse(File.ReadAllText("well.las"));
// canvas.SetCurves(log.Curves);
// canvas.SetHeader(log.Header);
manager.RequestRedraw();

3. Layout and rendering

WellLogLayoutEngine computes track widths, headers and depth grids; WellLogRenderer draws them with the brush library.

// The canvas runs the layout engine internally on resize and depth changes.
// Brush patterns come from WellLogBrushLibrary (sandstone, shale, limestone, ...).
