Menu

Menu L: age-depth conversion

Menu Lg: timescale with depth scale
Enables the addition of a timescale next to a depth scale. The time-scale is obtained via the age models set elsewhere in menu L. Timescales are obtained by an iterative process for all age models except linear interpolation, and may be slow (especially with the Bernshtein polynomial). During calculation, numbers are printed to the screen to indicate progress, counting up towards the number of tick marks on the scale. This option and the plotting of diagrams by age (menu La) are mutually incompatible: setting one of them on will cause the other to be turned off. However, a separate age-depth plot will be produced, displaying the model used to determine the timescale.

This option toggles between `off' and `on'.

Return to menu L.
