Geocap Project

We The Atlantis project is built using the UNCLOS project template. This template consists of four top level folders; Maritime lines, Seabed, Sediment data and Outer limit. The maritime lines folder will hold all the data with no reference to depth or located at the sea surface. The Seabed folder will hold all the data located at the seabed, like bathymetric profiles, foot of slope points and so on. The Sediment data folder will hold all the subsurface data like seismic, interpretations, velocities, sediment profiles etc. The Outer limit folder will hold all datasets which is used to construct the outer limit. We are now going to open the Atlantis project and start working with the datalook closer at this project structure.

Open the Atlantis project

  1. Click File > Open > Project
  2. Browse to the location of the Atlantis project (Geocap1/Projects/Atlantis_3/db)
  3. Select the Atlantis.db file and click Open.

Pressing the small triangles (or '+' in older Windows versions) to the left of a folder will display the folder's contents. Datasets and folders are organized very similarly to a file tree structure. A folder can contain other folders, or datasets.

Note

Note that there are two "modes" of the project view. Switch between these two by clicking on the tabs; List and Tree. List view sorts folder content into a separate window, while Tree view sorts everything into the tree itself.

In the next exercise we are going to explore how the Atlantis project is structured. Taking notice of how folders and datasets are organized. Datasets and folders can be cut, copied, pasted, renamed and deleted. This is performed from the popup menu which appears when right-clicking a dataset. The right click popup menu also contains commands which may be executed on the datasets. Notice the different icons of the different datasets. They correspond to the schema of the data set. The name of the schema is written in the second column.

Explore the project folder structure

  1. Expand the different folders and observe the sub folders Look and datasets
  2. Right click on folders and datasets and look at the right-click menus.

Info

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.

 

Displaying Data

By right clicking a dataset a range of different visualization commands is made available. For each type of dataset Geocap will have a default command. This is the command which will be used when ticking the checkbox next to a dataset. We are now going to display the different datasets in the project using the default command.

Display data

Display the various datasets in the project

  1. Locate a grid dataset (structured points or seabed) e.g. In the folder 2. Seabed / Grids /atlantisTick tick the checkbox next to the dataset to display it atlantis seabed surface.
  2. Right click the dataset again and select Zoom to Data. This will make the display window center the graphics window around the dataset.
  3. Display some of the lines e.g. lines found under 1. Maritime Lines.
  1. In the folder 1. Maritime Lines / Coast lines tick the checkbox next to The Kingdom Of Atlantis coast line.
  2. In the folder 1. Maritime Lines / Base lines tick the checkbox next to Baseline_Atlantis base line.
  3. In the folder 1. Maritime Lines / 12 lines tick the checkbox next to Baseline_Atlantis + 12M limit line.
  4. In the folder 2. Seabed / Bathymetric Profiles / North Sea tick the checkbox next to all the bathymetric profiles
Tip

Note that by checking and unchecking the first level folder 1. Maritime Lines, or 2. Seabed all datasets displayed under this folder are shown and hidden.
