10.2.2. Position Conversion

Position Conversion is an utility that can be used to convert the position pairs from Inline/Crossline to X/Y, and vice versa. This utility can be launched either directly from Utility > Position Conversion ... or from Survey selection menu (Survey > Select/Setup).

In the position conversion window, there are two modes available for coordinate conversion: Manual/File. In Manual mode, the user specifies an inline/crossline pair (or X/Y pair), then press the corresponding arrow key to obtain the position in the other domain.

In File mode, the user browses the input file and create a new output file. By specifying the corresponding type conversion (XY to IC or IC to XY) and pressing the GO button, the desired conversion is written on output file.

10.2.3. Create Devel. env.

With this option the user can create the OpendTect developer environment. The source code and all other relevant files are copied into a user specified directory. More information can be found in the Programmer manual from the Help menu.

10.2.4. Command Driver

The Command Driver offers automated control of the current OpendTect application from a command script. The command script is a replacement for a series of keyboard and mouse interactions performed by the user. It can be used to automate parts of the work flow, and helps to speed up executing repetitive tasks or giving automated demonstrations in OpendTect.

The Command Driver was created as a tool to make automated testing of the OpendTect releases possible. That means it is not optimized for usage as a scripting tool. It is clear, however, that power users have been starting to use the Command Driver tool for this purpose.

The list of available commands, their syntax, and semantics can be found in the Command Driver Manual.
