Oasis montaj 6.3.1 Update

September 30, 2006

Oasis montaj 6.3.1 is a maintenance release that primarily addresses bug fixes and includes a new Map-to-Dapple tool. This release also includes all the updates made in 6.3 Hotfix 1 and 6.3 Hotfix 2.

New Map-to-Dapple Tool

Geosoft map displayed on gravity data in Dapple

Oasis montaj 6.3.1 provides a new Map-to-Dapple tool that enables users to display their currently viewed map area in Dapple. The viewed region of the current map is exported to a GeoTIFF image, which is then displayed inside Dapple. Note that, the original map must be in a projected or geographic coordinate system.

Dapple is a global data explorer designed to provide an open and optimal environment for visualizing, presenting and sharing massive quantities of geoscientific data from corporate or Internet DAP, WMS or government tile servers. With Dapple you are able to find other data that may be of interest for your project - data such as NASA Landsat data, or Geologic Survey of Canada geology layers. These data sets can be easily exported from Dapple to a GeoTIFF that can then be added to your project maps. For more information on Dapple, visit http://dapple.geosoft.com

How to update your software

To download and install the new release online:

All maintained users can upgrade online in Oasis montaj. On the Help menu in Oasis montaj, click Check for updates… and follow the instructions on the dialog boxes as they appear.
