Geocap Project
Geocap Geocap is a software for mapping and modeling geoscientific data, designed with focus on interactivity and flexible control of visualization and manipulation. Geocap is operated through projects. The project "holds" the data in a folder-like structure, similar to Windows "File Explorer". All datasets are "children" of either a folder or another dataset. Geocap offers different project templates, giving you a pre-defined folder structure that fits your workflow for a specific type of work. In this tutorial collection we are going to use the Shelf/UNCLOS project template.
Data visualization and manipulation is operated through commands. Commands can be used to display datasets in the graphics window, manipulate existing datasets or to generate new datasets. The Geocap Shelf module offers a range of commands with tailor made article 76 functionality.These commands are available in a Toolbox or if you right click a dataset or folder in the project.
All the project data is visualized in the graphics window and by using the mouse it is possible to pan, zoom, rotate, spin, scale z-axis and so on.
This section will guide you through the basics of opening a project, explore and display the project data and navigate in the graphics window.

A Geocap project is stored in a folder on your computer. The project consist of a ".db" file, which contains information about the project tree, and several files which contain the data sets. You should let Geocap manage the files in the project folder and should not store other files in this folder. If you want to make a backup of your projects, or if you want to exchange Geocap projects with other Geocap users you may zip the project folder with all the underlaying datasets into one file. This is convenient for sending e.g. to support@geocap.no. |
