Create Modelling Results Maps

Use the Create Modelling Results Map menu option (Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.UXO.UceObsModMap;Run)*) to create modelling maps to visualize and report the results of the target modelling process.

Create Modelling Results Map dialog options

Target Database

Name

Select the target database. This database must contain X & Y coordinates, a target ID channel, and a mask channel.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.TARGETGDB

Group

Select the group to process from the currently selected target database.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.TARGETGROUP

ID channel

Select the target ID channel. Each target must have a unique target ID number.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.TARGETIDCH

Mask channel

Select the target database mask channel to filter out specific targets. Only the targets with a mask (channel value) of 1 will be processed. If the value is set to 0 or dummy (*), the corresponding target will be ignored.

If the field is left blank, no mask will be applied.

Mask channels have their CLASS attribute set to "MASK", but any channel from the drop-down list may be used as a mask channel.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.MASKCH

Data Group

Modelled database

Select the database that contains both observed and modelled data for each target. The name will have the form "<Survey Database>_<Target Database>_<Target Group>".

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.MODELLEDDB

Observed channel(s)

Select the channels that have been modelled using the Model Targets (Batch) option.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.OBSERVEDCH

Map Parameters

Instrument type

Select the instrument type from the list of available instruments.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.INSTRUMENTTYPE

Grid colour table

Select a colour table (TBL, ZON, or ITR assumed).

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.COLORTBL

Grid colour method

Select the colour method as one of the following options:

  • "As last displayed"
  • "Default"
  • "Histogram equalization"
  • "Normal distribution"
  • "Linear"
  • "Log-linear
  • Shaded relief"
If the selected colour scheme (grid colour table) is an .itr file or a .zon file, the colours are already attributed to data ranges, and this entry remains disabled.

The "As last displayed" method will display the grid as it was displayed the last time the grid was viewed, and the colour table will be ignored.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.COLORMETHOD

Display residual field

Check this option if the residual map is to be displayed.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.DISPRESIDUAL

Modelled parameters

Select the parameters that have been estimated using the Model Targets (Batch) option.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.MODELLEDPARAMS

Open all maps

Check this option to display the maps as they are created.

Script Parameter: UCEOBSMODMAP.DISPALLMAPS

Application Notes

The Create Modelling Results Map option creates a map for each target in a target group that includes the observed (measured), modelled, and residual data as grid images, as well as a table of the selected modelled parameters. The number of maps for each target is defined by the number of selected observed channels, so you may have more than one map for each target if more than one observed channel was selected. The map files are named "<Modelled Database>_<Observed Channel>_<Target Id>.map" and are saved in the subdirectory "...\_wrk\maps" inside the project directory.

Selecting a ZON or ITR file for the colour table will allow you to control how the observed and model data are displayed, for example, to display them using the same colour range as you used for the entire survey grid.

*The GX tool will search in the "gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll located in the bin folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the bin folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.
