Abstract:
Computer contour systems are intended to aid in the interpretation of geologic data as well as to prepare drafted quality displays. To accomplish this, completely automated (batch) contour systems require complex algorithms and a significant amount of computer resources. Multiple submissions are also usually required to obtain a finished display.
A highly interactive contour system, however, relies much more heavily on the interpreters and the graphical functions of an automated drafting system to prepare a finished display. This approach uses simpler algorithms, less computer resource, and more interpretative interaction from the end user. Examples of the two approaches include the use of color schemes for displaying results.
