Splice versus Age calculation and plotting

After having established a spliced data record and having defined an Age-Depth age model, the user can apply this age model to generate a time-series from the spliced data record by pressing the "Apply age model..." button in the Age Modeling window.

The program converts the spliced data record (in mcd depth) into a time series by linearly interpolating the spliced record as a function of the user-defined age model.

The user can modify the age model and the time-series and sedimentation rate data and plot window are updated automatically.

This Splice time series is plotted in a pop-up window with adjacent to a sedimentation rate (in m/Ma) profile. The user can zoom in/out on the record by clicking the zoom arrow icons. ODP identifier, mbsf, mcd, and age information can be displayed by placing the cursor arrow over the timeseries and depressing the right mouse button.
