Key Features

GeoMedia Grid includes a number of key features:

  • More than 45 Grid analysis commands
  • Fully customizable (access to every Grid object through Automation)
  • Integrated Grid editing facilities
  • Grid-to-feature class conversion
  • Feature class-to-grid conversion
  • Grid re-projection (support for all GeoMedia Projections and Datums)
  • Grid layer-to-warehouse attribute connectivity
  • 3D visualization (including free fly and flight path modes)
  • Grid layer Map Algebra through a map calculator

Improved Data Interoperability

  • New Import Wizard (easier to use — includes the ability to bulk load data sets)
  • Expanded choice of import types — Arc ASCII, Arc Binary, ASCII, Binary (providing greater flexibility to the end user)
  • Support for CSF and World Files (better alignment with coordinate system and projection support within the GeoMedia suite of products)
  • Programmatic Interfaces for user-defined file types (unlimited expandability through customization)

Increased Scalability

  • Complex Polygon support (streamlined Raster-to-Vector conversion — single step)
  • Optimized Data Streaming (faster screen refreshes regardless of zoom ratio)
  • Optimization of CPU-intensive commands (better performance on smaller machines)

New Spatial Analysis Commands

  • Ordinary Kriging Suite (industry standard interpolation for statistical data sets)
  • Curvature Calculation (expanded surface analysis)
  • Isoline Generation (one-step Grid surface-to-Linear Feature Class characterization/conversion with Z value attributes, including thematic legend entry display)
  • Isolation Estimation (expanded surface analysis)
  • Volume Calculation (expanded surface analysis)

Expanded Data Viewing Facilities

  • New blending window (image blending/texturing techniques — providing the ability to merge multiple images into a single view)
  • Histogram Generation (one-step process with multiple views)
  • Profile Generation (one-step process with multiple views and export formats)
  • Cell Magnifier (direct access to cell values from GeoMedia Map window)
  • Grid Layer Drill Down (direct access to cell values in multiple Grid files from GeoMedia Map window)

Extension of Existing Commands

  • Shaded Relief (industry standard methods with improved flexibility)
  • Color Composite (preview windows to streamline process)
  • GeoMedia Queries to Grid Conversion (greater flexibility with less steps — added support for GeoMedia GeoTIFF File Import)
