ENVIMAP Reference
C3-2 ENVI-MAG Manual
Limitations
As with any package, there are some limitations to what ENVIMAP can deal with
and accomplish. To add more functionality, you can buy the complete Geosoft
Mapping System directly from SCINTREX.
Data (XYZ) files
The data input can consist of an unlimited number of XYZ points, limited only by
the disk space on your computer. The gridding component of this system will
produce up to 62,500 cells in a rectangular grid.
Viewing the plots
The system produces monochrome (i.e. black and white) output. The screen
previewing is up to VGA resolutions (640 x 480).
Final map size
The actual limit of any given plot is dependent on the printer selected. The largest
physical size is ledger (11 x 17 inches) or A3 (267 x 366 mm) metric. The maps
are automatically scaled to the size of paper used by the printer selected.
Menuing system
The ENVIMAP system is entirely menu driven with context sensitive help. Its
design allows you to process and create plots without reference to this manual. It
is assumed that you are somewhat experienced with the use of an IBM-
compatible DOS-based personal computer.
The ENVIMAP interface
The ENVIMAP system interface is quite easy to work with. You can use either a
mouse or the keyboard cursor keys to navigate the various menus. This section
will describe the various aspects of the ENVIMAP interface and how to use it.
