Use this command to automatically create labels for the samples in each selected sample area.
The dialog contains two basic controls:
Label Format Text Box:
Use this text box to create the format or template for each sample label. Certain text that appears between angle brackets < > represents variables (see below). All other text represents literal text that will appear in the sample label.
Variable List:
Double click on an item in the list to add the variable to the end of the Label Format in the text box. (Variables may also be typed into the Label Format text box, this list provide a quick way of doing so as well as providing a reference.)
The following is a list of valid variables:
<ANAME> |
The Sample Area Name, which can be accessed or modified from the Sample Area Information dialog box. |
<AREA> |
The unique Sample Area number, which is internal to VSP and comes from the order of sample area creation. |
<COL> |
The column number of a grid cell, which is valid for Adaptive Cluster sampling or Room grid sampling. The grid cell column is visible on the Grid Cell Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<CYC> |
The cycle number of a Ranked Set sample . The cycle number is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<LX> |
The local X Coordinate of a sample. The local coordinate is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<LY> |
The local Y Coordinate of a sample. The local coordinate is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<N> |
The number needed to make the sample label unique among all the labels created. |
<NN> |
The number unique within the sample area. |
<NNN> |
The number unique within the entire site map. |
<ROW> |
The row number of a grid cell, which is valid for Adaptive Cluster sampling or Room grid sampling. The grid cell row is visible on the Grid Cell Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View . |
<SEQ> |
The internal sequence number of a Sequential sample for Barnard's Sequential t-Test or a Boundary Delineation design. |
<SET> |
The set number of a Ranked Set sample . The set number is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<SNAME> |
The name of the surface in a room. Labels can be created for room surfaces and manually changed later. |
<SURF> |
The internal surface number in a room. |
<X> |
The X Coordinate of a sample. The coordinate is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<Y> |
The Y Coordinate of a sample. The coordinate is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
<Z> |
The Z Coordinate of a sample. The coordinate is visible on the Sample Information dialog box or the Coordinate View. |
