ENCOM Discover
Encom Discover is the premier geoscience application for MapInfo Professional GIS.

Discover 11.0 has now been released. This new version of Discover contains a number of exciting new features as well as many improvements to existing tools.

New/Improved Features in Discover 11.0:

  • Build massive topographic grids from LIDAR data
  • Continued support for multi-gigabyte grids
  • The hydrology toolbox - automatically extract drainage features from gridded digital elevation surfaces and more
  • Updated graph map tool, including a new data clock graph type
  • New polyline section definition tool, allowing for drillhole cross sections to be defined along a non-linear path.
  • New display downhole data tool that makes creating and finessing the downhole
    data displays on your sections interactive and painless
  • Support for importing DataSight, ioGAS and LiDAR LAS files
  • Numerous interface and performance improvements throughout the program


Who should use Discover?

  • The exploration geologist for visualizing drill or surface sampling data in the field.
  • The cartographer for building data sets and producing high quality maps.
  • The exploration manager for project generation, spatial data integration and tracking competitor tenement activity.
  • The database administrator for managing spatial datasets.



What can Discover do for you?

Drillhole display Visualize drill data in section or plan view.
Do compositing on cut-off grade, lithology or depth.
Produce strip logs for drillholes.
Surface creation and analysis Gridding with inverse weighted, minimum curvature or TIN model.
Contouring.
Grid arithmetic.
Voroni polygon creation
Graphing XY scatterplot, ternary, rose or stereogram.
Highlight points in the map from a graph, and vice versa.
Structural symbol mapping Australian, US and Canadian True Type geological symbols.
Scaled output Produce a map grid, scale bar and titleblock automatically.
Overlay lat/long and projected grids, or local grids together with map grids.
Generate a combined legend for any layers in a map window.
Add geological line annotation and polygon fill patterns to selected map objects.
Dataset building/object editing Draw objects by entering coordinates or entering a distance and bearing.
Clip all map objects by a selected polygon.
Polygonize linework.
Coordinate/grid utilities Work with a local grid system.
Conversion between local grid and real-world grid.
Data query tools Search and replace text across multiple columns.
Select records from a list of values, or by graphical style.
Link documents, such as reports, video or images, to map objects.
Metadata management Create and maintain a spatial catalogue for all spatial data tables, view/query the spatial catalogue, and open MapInfo tables directly.

New/Improved Features summary for previous versions of Discover.
