Using the Extension

The main interaction with the extension  is through the OpenSpirit toolbar.  

When disconnected from OpenSpirit the toolbar will appear as:

When connected it appears as:  

The use of these buttons is presented in the next sections which describe common tasks that you may perform using the OpenSpirit Extension.

Common Tasks

• Connect/disconnect to/from OpenSpirit
• Enable/disable listening
• Add well, seismic, and interpretation data to the map
• Launch the OpenSpirit Data Selector
• See selected feature attributes and related data
• Add horizon grids to the map
• Save in-memory feature classes
• Send data, by reference, to other applications (send data selection events OpenSpirit events that contain datakeys (references to data residing in data stores connected to OpenSpirit). A receiving application will normally import and then display the data referenced by the received datakeys.)
• Send point, polyline or polygon features  to other applications (send GIS events An OpenSpirit event that contains point, polyline, or polygon features. A receiving application will display the received features.)
• Send  raster features to other applications (send grid events An OpenSpirit event that contains a grid of values normally representing the time or depth of a geologic surface. A receiving application will display the received surface.)
• Receive point, polyline or polygon features from other applications (receive GIS events An OpenSpirit event that contains point, polyline, or polygon features. A receiving application will display the received features. )
• Receive raster features (horizon girds) from other applications (receive grid events An OpenSpirit event that contains a grid of values normally representing the time or depth of a geologic surface. A receiving application will display the received surface. )
• Synchronize map views with other applications (send/receive map view events An OpenSpirit event that defines the current map extent. An application that receives this event will zoom to this area.)
• Send a map image to other applications (send map image events An OpenSpirit event that is a specialized version of the map view event. This event generates a image file containing a snapshot of the current ArcMap window and sends the image file path along with the map view extents. A receiving application will zoom to this area in the same manner as when receiving a map view event. Some reveiving applications will also display the map image.)
• Synchronize selections with other applications
• Share cursor location with other applications (send/receive cursor tracking events An OpenSpirit event that contains the x,y position of the mouse cursor in the map window. A receiving application will display a cursor icon that "tracks" this position.)
• Display the user help guide
• Display the log file
