Glyph

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001714

A graphical symbol or icon used to represent multiple data attributes simultaneously in a single visual element. Glyphs allow for the compact display of complex multivariate information, with different properties of the glyph (e.g., size, shape, color, orientation) encoding different data values. They are used in reservoir visualization to display petrophysical properties or stress states at specific locations.
