Abstract
This chapter describes an interactive graphics system designed for borehole televiewer (BHTV) image analysis. The software provides one of the first comprehensive tools for borehole image data analysis available to exploration and research scientists on a low cost and easy-to-use personal computer, the Apple Macintosh II.
