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 Deneba’s 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. Interpolation CGM import data PIP Options
