GeoGRAFX GIS is Going GREEN: Online MapInfo and Discover Webinars for Geologists

Whether you are in the field or the office, GeoGRAFX GIS is providing a green solution to match your budget.  The webinars are short - usually one to two hours in duration and cover a specific topic related to the MapInfo/Discover/Discover 3D platform.  

The webinar series allows people who have participated in previous training sessions to keep up to date with current changes without the expense of retaking the courses, and purchase only the specific sessions they need. Each Webinar is based on one of the chapters in the training manuals and contains not only the video but the updated documentation from the manual as well.

The 45 minute Webinar covers the Discover Geochem Module which provides the following functionality:

• Point Classification - Apply incremented colour, size or symbol styles to a point dataset, allowing the definition of homogenous data classes by ranges or groups of values.
• Trivariate Point Classification - Set threshold values for up to three selected fields to determine if a sample population can be separated into homogenous groups, including interdependent relationships between the elements.
• Data Levelling - Normalize geochemical data to identify anomalous values regardless of sample type, sample method, background geology or regolith unit.
• Summary Statistics - Report standard statistical results for a geochemical dataset and save the results to a separate table.
• Compute Correlation Matrix - Calculate the correlation coefficients for two elements and determine their relative variation.

The Data Handling Options tool can be accessed from any tool on the Geochem menu. The Webinar uses MapInfo Professional ® v10.0 and Encom Discover ® v11.0.

This 1 hour 20 minute video covers some of the advanced object creation and editing tools useful in creating maps. These tools include:

• Screen Digitizing - create digital datasets using existing tables and digitizing from a scanned image.
• Data Entry - We will use the Discover DigData utility to streamline the entry of attribute data for digitized map objects.
• MapInfo Autotrace - use Autotrace to trace nodes from existing polylines or polygons.
• The Discover PolyBuilder utility is designed to simplify the conversion of digitised linework (representing regions) into polygon vector objects.
• Clip to Polygon - Discard data that lie outside a selected region, clipping the retained data at the region boundary.

The 45 minute Webinar covers the use of Discover's Scaled Output to insert a correctly sized and scaled frame of the front map window (with map grid) into a layout. Additional frames for scalebar and titleblock are then added to the layout.  We will walk thru the steps needed to create a map for hardcopy output, including adding legends using MapInfo's Create Legend feature, adding a North Arrow from the Tools options, as well as inserting a location map that include the map outline.  We will touch on problems and solutions commonly encountered when producing hardcopy output. The Webinar uses MapInfo Professional ® v9.5.1 and Encom Discover ® v10.1.
