Geocap Data Types
Introduction
Geocap uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) software system for graphics and basic data formats developed by Kitware. Some of the data types in Geocap are used directly from VTK while others are created by Geocap. Read more about VTK Data Structure in the Appendix.
The data types used in Geocap are:
- Polydata
- Pointcloud
- Image Data
- Structured Points
- Vertical Calibrated Image
- Well
- Seismic Line
- Ihorizon
- Seismic Cube
To understand how these data types are used in different datasets read more below.
In this section:
Folders
- Collection - can contain different folder types.
- Generic - can contain most datasets that Geocap supports.
- Seismic Data - can only contain Seismic Line and Seismic Cube datasets.
- Interpretation - can only contain Ihorizon datasets.
- Wells - can only contain Wells datasets.
- Commands - contains command objects
- Scripts - contains scripts and text files
Points and Lines
Data type: Polydata
Lines can consist of one or several line pieces. Each line piece is sorted into a cell.
- To view the cells in a dataset: Additional Display > Cells in different colors.
- To sort line pieces into one cell: Utilities > Sort line pieces into cells.
