Discover simplifies digitizing of geological, regolith, and area usage polygons by intelligently converting disconnected assemblies of digitized linework into attributed polygon vector objects. Discover automatically checks and cleans the linework, resolving gaps, overlaps, and loops, and streamlines the process of adding attributes to the resulting polygons.

When you digitize, Discover can auto-increment integer attributes (e.g. sample numbers), auto-fill text or numeric attributes, and prompt for other location-specific data. Combine this with the extensive and customizable styles library of geoscience-specific objects, and you have historical imaged data into usable vector data.

Digitized points, lines, and polygons are graphically rendered by applying customized color and pattern style tables. New styles can be created from existing maps (e.g. AGSO polygon maps) and made available to other users in the organization through a common styles library.

Key capabilities

• Auto-increment and auto-fill values in attribute fields
• Build polygons from overlapping linework with sophisticated orphan, gap, loop, and overlap controls.

Discover gives you an extensive set of productivity tools for editing, cleaning, transforming, and manipulating map objects.

Key functions

• Edit, reverse, smooth, and thin nodes in one or more objects
• Create and edit nodes from the keyboard or cursor
• Copy styles from one object and apply to others
• Align, rotate, shift and rescale groups of objects
• Duplicate an object into a gridded array
• Concatenate, trim, cut, clip and split multiple objects
