GeoToolkit

C++ Cross-Platform Toolkit for E&P Applications

The GeoToolkit™ is a C++ library of components that permit developers to fast-track their development of Oil and Gas E&P applications under Qt, Windows MFC or Unix Motif. GeoToolkit provides components for display of seismic data, logs, basemaps, contours and XY-plots. 

 

Unique Advantages

Easy to Use
When using GeoToolkit’s comprehensive geoscience libraries, developers have ready-made key functions such as standard data displays and hardcopy support for EPS and CGM formats. Because GeoToolkit extensively uses object-oriented technology, developers have a high degree of flexibility in writing complex applications for visualization.

High Performance
GeoToolkit’s enhanced architecture and low overhead translate into increased performance. Its layered viewing architecture coupled with efficient spatial indexing methods and algorithms for storing and caching data contribute to an optimized use of the native graphics pipeline.

Extensible Architecture
GeoToolkit is highly extensible and data handling is interface-based, allowing application developers to plug in their own data formats. With unique support for dynamic interfaces, programmers do not need to create their own plot types. The set of graphics primitives can be extended easily beyond those already supported.

Integration with Qt4
GeoToolkit supports a complete set of extensions for development with Trolltech’s Qt cross-platform development environment. High-level QWidget classes have been specifically designed for easy integration with QtDesigner. Extension classes are also available for scrolling, layout management, hardcopy output and event processing using Qt’s signals and slots. Finally, built-in editors have been included for easy manipulation of seismic, log and contour attributes.
