Export - ObjectVision/GeoDMS GitHub Wiki

With the GeoDMS data can be exported to multiple formats. This applies both to source data as well as calculated results.

Three types of exports are distinguished:

  • Export primary data to the clipboard
  • Export primary data to files
  • Export viewports

clipboard

The table view can be used to export data to the clipboard with the following tools:

[images/Copy_text.png]] copies the (selected) data from the table to the clipboard, string [data items are quoted and a semicolon is used as delimiter between the data item.

images/Copy_picture.png copies the visible contents of the active table as picture to the clipboard

More information on how to use the table view can be found in chapter 8 of the User Guide.

primary data to files

Primary data can be exported to files in two ways:

  1. By configuring a StorageManager to data items referring to calculation results, see topic: Data source.

  2. By using the GUI (see paragraph 15.3 of the User Guide). In the tree view a pop up menu option is available for each data item to export primary data to the following formats:

  • Bitmap (*.TIF or *.BMP) (for data items with a grid domain)). The option exports data to (default and advised) tif format and optional bmp format.
  • Table (*.DBF with .shp and .shx where possible). This option exports data to dbf format. If the data item refers to vector data, the geometry is also exported to .shp/.shx format resulting in an ShapeFile.
  • Ascii grid (for data items with a grid domain). The option exports data to Ascii grid format.
  • CSV table for all data items. This option exports data to a csv file with string fields quoted and a semicolon delimiter between all fields.
