User:Rcorrigan/AHGW Pro:HGU Color Manager
The HGU Color Manager dialog is accessed by selecting Subsurface | HGU Color Manager from the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolbar. It can also be accessed via a button at the bottom of the Borehole/Well Editor dialog.
This dialog allows for managing the symbology of layers based on a common attribute using a single interface. The tool is based on the "HydrogeologicUnit" table which defines a set of conceptual hydrogeologic units that are associated with different spatial instances such as volumes, cross sections, borehole intervals, geologic picks, and outcrops.
The following section, options, and buttons are available in this dialog:
- HGUColor spreadsheet – There are three columns:
- HGUColor –
- HGUColor –
- Symbology – Click the drop-down to open the color palette.
- Lower spreadsheet –
- Setup... – Click to bring up the HGU Setup dialog.
- Apply Symbology – Click to immediately apply the changes made in the HGUColor spreadsheet.
- Save and Exit – Save the changes and close the HGU Color Manager dialog.
- Cancel – Discard the changes and close the HGU Color Manager dialog.
The following image demonstrates how the colors are applied across layers:
