Other Features Include:
- GraphMap - Creating graphs and structural plots, and linking graphed data to mapped locations (e.g. stream geochemistry or regional geology). Entirely redeveloped (in v9) for extensive 2D and 3D graphical visualisation and interactive analysis.
- Discover 3D Module (optional) - A new menu provides access to Discover 3D, a completely new add-on, available sperately for use with v6.1 onwards
- Drillhole and Trench or Costean cross-section, plan and log display
- Gridding and contouring point data (e.g. topography or geochemistry), with extensive classification, editing, vectorisation, analysis and arithmentic utilities including kriging and grid profiling
- Large dataset handling (1GB+) and grid tiling supported
- Dynamic scale bar - adds a scale bar to your map window or in a separate window
- Polybuilder - Range of new utilities to digitise, check and clean linework, create and attribute polygons
- Stacked Profiles - generated from line data
- Geochemical Data Analysis - A module for geochemical data analysis and visualisation enables separation of data into specific populations, correlations, levelling and summary statistics to be performed
- Environmental Utilities - Display temporal data (such as water monitoring sites) from point locations; Visualise vector data (magnitude and orientation); Quantify and visualise area changes
- Applying standard map colours to polygon (e.g. geological) and point maps, and quickly generating editable, customisable legends (making corporate styles easy to adhere to)
- Cleaning and polygonising linework
- Line Annotation - allow any supported MapInfo symbol to be used as a line annotation
- Synchronised Map Window Linking - Pan in one window, all linked windows mimic the view
- Style Cloner - Copies styles from existing to new map objects
- Interactive cursor position - locate yourself on all open windows
- Table Reprojection facility - for reprojecting multiple tables at once
- Image Rectification facility - manipulation of images within Discover
- Structural, Water and Environmental fonts
- Smart Grid Handling direct support for GeoSoft, ERMapper and BIL formats in 3D
- Enhanced Layer Control - On-screen, real-time control of the way your data is displayed
- Importing DXF and 3D DXF, SRTM & IoGas data.
- Object and Table Editing functionality over and above that of MapInfo - e.g. import MineSight (.SRG), Vulcan (.ARCH_D), Surpac, Datamine, acQuire and Geosoft data and export to MineSight, Vulcan, Surpac string and Datamine ASCII format
- Advanced workspace opening and table closing features
- On-screen digitising and data-input facility
- Quickly producing scaled hardcopy output, complete with titleblock, scalebar and mapgrid
- Library of geology-specific symbols, line styles and custom-made fill patterns
