There are three minor differences between this dialog and the vertical dialog. The first difference is in the [[GMS:Vertical Markov Chain|Markov Chains section]]. The option, Lens width ratios, replaces the Fit curves to a discrete lag option. The Fit curves to a discrete lag option is not applicable because horizontal measured transition probability curves do not exist due to lack of data in the horizontal direction. The Lens width ratios option is the default option and should be used in most cases. This option allows users to apply the transition data entered in the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. The proportion data are directly inherited from the vertical data. | There are three minor differences between this dialog and the vertical dialog.

The second change is in the [[GMS:Vertical Markov Chain|Spreadsheet Section]]. Rather than entering the mean lengths, the user enters a ratio corresponding to the ratio of the lens length in the x direction to the lens length in the z direction. For example, if the lens length for material A is 5 feet in the z direction and the user enters 10.0 for the ratio, then the lens length in the x direction would be 50 feet. The Lens Width Ratios option is particularly useful because the only required input is lens length ratios for the non-background materials. The remaining data are all inherited from the vertical data. The third change is in the [[GMS:Vertical Markov Chain|Plot Section]]. Due to the lack of measured data in the horizontal direction, each plot contains only one curve: the Markov chain curve. | The second change is in the [[GMS:Vertical Markov Chain|Spreadsheet Section]].
