Hi Guys
LC is still fairly foreign to me.
I was wondering if it is possible to store the following bore hole results in a MySQL database with LC.
It needs to record what formation of soil or grid that was found between say 0 to 1 meters and 1 to 5
meters and 5 to 10 meters. For each of the levels an image must be stored based on what was found.
There are 9 standard transparent images with patterns that resemble what can be found. Lets say Clay SILT was found as well as Granite, it needs to super impose the images for Granite and Clay SILT

Any pointer would be appreciated and is this possible in LC
Thanks

Hi.

I do not use SQL, but your questions about storing, referencing and accessing images is easy and straightforward. LC can do it all, and I assume the SQL stuff as well.

For a start, you should import two images. Set their rects and lock their sizes and positions. Overlay one on top of the other, perhaps with an offset. Now adjust the blendLevels of each. This adjusts the "transparency" of each image.
