GIS Legend Editor

Use the GIS Legend Editor dialog to set the display attributes of an ESRI shape file.

Given that ESRI shape files do not contain any rendering information, a secondary file is required in order to properly display the features within the shape file. Geosoft has created the "geosoft_legend" file to store all the rendering information for a shape file so that it can be identically displayed in Oasis montaj, ArcMAP and MapInfo. The legend files are created using the Geosoft GIS Legend Editor. This "Editor" provides a simplified interface to assist you in setting the individual display attributes for a shape file.
