Encom’s powerful Discover 10.0 geoscience package complements the release of MapInfo Professional® 9.5 with a host of new Surfaces functionality, as well as extensive improvements to the Drillhole module. Many popular tools have also been redesigned to provide a more dynamic and user-friendly interface.
General Improvements
Supports MapInfo Professional 9.5•
Updated support for version 4.06 of the acQuire database model•
30% performance improvement in many data processing tools•
Surfaces
Large Grid SupportExpansion of Discover’s data access capabilities by adding import and visualisation support for very large grids (1GB+). The redesigned grid handling engine in Discover 10.0 can now access virtually unlimited sized grid fi les, such as continental SRTM data.
To illustrate this, the three map windows below are all views of the same 120GB World 90m SRTM grid fi le.

advances
New Grid TilerHuge grid fi les can now be cut into smaller tiles prior to opening in MapInfo Pro, thereby allowing them to be effi ciently processed by the various Surfaces manipulation tools.
New Grid Profi ler toolDynamically create and interrogate profi les across one or more grids with a completely redesigned Grid Profi ler tool.
New Grid Format SupportSupport for additional grid fi le formats has been added such as HGT (for example NASA’s SRTM data), Landmark, Geosoft GFX, and MapInfo MIG formats.
New Contour Label PositionerCreates precisely positioned and orientated contour labels using user-defi ned label path lines.
Grid Utilities
New Cut/Fill tool• Summarises the areas and volumes of change that have occurred between two grid surfaces.
New Outline tool• Creates attributed polygons outlining the bounds of multiple grids e.g. to visualise the extents of multiple airborne geophysical surveys.
New Surface Area tool• Calculates the total 3D surface area, 2D planar area and roughness of a grid.
Usability and performance • improvements have also been made to the Classify, Grid to Grid Clip, Split and Vectorise utilities.
Grid FilterAdded an FFT Reduction to Pole (Low Latitude) fi lter.
Data Utilities
New Local Grid Layout tool
A dynamic new interface allows:
Interactive baseline or traverse • line defi nition by drawing in mapper window.
Grid design to be previewed • and modifi ed dynamically in the mapper window.
Creation of both grid pegs • (points) and grid lines.
Creation of triangular/diamond pattern • grids (i.e. offset grid pegs/lines).
advances
Drillholes
New Project Setup dialog
Intuitive wizard interface•
Graphic preview of the collar plan•
Summary information for each project•
Auto-detection down-dip of direction•
New Section Manager dialog
Dynamic auto-preview of section’s • spatial extents in collar map window
Detailed listing of section parameters•
New Drillhole Query Tool
Calculates the maximum downhole • values for each hole, including From/To depths and ancillary fi elds
Returns the End-of-Hole • (EOH) interval for each hole (including BOH checks)
New gINT ImporterImports drillhole data from the gINT borehole logging application into a Discover drillhole project.
Improved Defi ne New Section or Plan toolA number of improvements have been made, including providing user customisation of the surface line colour and easier visibility of user defi ned colour table names.
Improved Trenching dialog
Table Utilities
New Unique Identifi er toolAttributes every row in a table with a unique incrementing value (e.g. HGRC1021, HGRC1022... or 8433 west, 8434 west...).
New Favourites dialogA new combined dialog allows the custom ordering of your favourite tables, workspaces, MBXs.
New Multi Column Update toolUpdating large numbers of fi elds is now much easier with automatic fi eld matching (when fi eld names are identical) and saving/loading of fi eld assignment templates
Redesigned Sort Table interface
Object Editing
Align Objects toolNew Disperse option allows selected objects to be evenly spread between the end members, useful when aligning legend objects
Map Window
The following tools have been redesigned to allow the dialogs to be kept open whilst working within MapInfo:
Select by Graphical Style
Now supports differing • source and target tables
New output query options•
Standard ViewsAllows customised ordering
Favourite ProjectionsAllows customised ordering
Images
A new Transparency control is available under the Modify tab.
Geochem
New Point Classifi cation toolThe size, colour and/or symbols of point data can be modulated by one or more fi elds (such as Cu modulated by size and rock type modulated by colour), allowing homogenous data classes to be defi ned by ranges or groups of values.
Improved Levelling toolCreates new output summary fi elds
GraphMap
Extensive improvements, including:
New Order column option•
New batch export of graphs to MapInfo•
Data Handling can be • applied to multiple fi elds
Performance improvements.•
