based seismic interpretation applications are routinely used in the
petroleum industry, earth scientists and data specialists around the
world quickly embraced the Canvas CGM*PIP filter as an invaluable
tool. The technology allows for significant increases in company pro-
ductivity and workflow.
The CGM*PIP Import filter is available to regular users who wish to
upgrade to a Petroleum Industry version of Canvas. Contact
Denebas sales department (sales@deneba.com) for pricing and
availability.
CGM*PIP Import Options
The CGM import data is located at the top of the dialog box.
Note: When importing any CGM file, the CGM*PIP Import Options
dialog box appears because it overrides the standard CGM import fil-
ter.
When importing Seismic files directly into Canvas, certain options
are presented that have an effect of how the filter reads raw data.
PIP Options
Resolution
All CGM PIP seismic data are rendered to a bitmap.
The resolution option specifies the resolution with which the bitmap
is created.
Higher resolution yields more detail to the curves but the file will
take more time to load.
Transparent
Some curves are imported as separate images,
depending on certain settings in the CGM PIP file. Images cannot be
seen when they overlap each other. To prevent hidden images, check
the transparency box when the file is imported. If this box is left
unchecked, the image will remain opaque.
Clip Only If Necessary
This option eliminates clipping rectangles
if they do not clip any of the objects assigned to them. Those objects
are contained entirely within the clipping area and checking this
option will allow Canvas to redraw much faster; however, if any
object stripped of the clipping rectangles is moved outside that area,
they will not be clipped because the clipping rectangle has been
removed when setting this option. Be careful with this option if you
want to move objects in the document.
