Overview

With the OpenSpirit Extension, a user can extend ArcGIS functionality to allow a user to browse well, seismic, and interpretation data coming from a variety of G&G data stores and to bidirectionally share interaction events A message sent between OpenSpirit enabled applications. Events may be shared between applications running on different computers. with other OpenSpirit enabled applications.

Specifically this extension adds the ability to connect ArcMap to OpenSpirit in order to:

• Read well, seismic, and interpretation data from OpenSpirit enabled data stores and display in ArcMap
• Send and receive OpenSpirit 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. (exchange references to data with other applications)
• Send and receive OpenSpirit GIS events An OpenSpirit event that contains point, polyline, or polygon features. A receiving application will display the received features. (exchange point, polyline and polygon features with other applications)
• Send and receive OpenSpirit 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.  (exchange surface grids with other applications)
• Send and receive OpenSpirit 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. (exchange mouse cursor x,y,z positions with other applications)
• Send and receive OpenSpirit map view events An OpenSpirit event that defines the current map extent. An application that receives this event will zoom to this area. (synchronize map view extents with other applications)
• Send OpenSpirit 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 map view extents with other applications and display an image of the map)
• Establish a selection highlighting synchronization session (send and receive instructions to select features)
