Software Description:
All the advanced georeferencing, digitizing, coordinateconversion, and mapping features you need in a low-cost,unbelievably versatile program. This is the ultimate geoprocessingand data conversion tool for any map maker, cartographer,geologist, oil and gas professional, or GIS analyst.
There has never been a more comprehensive, powerful, all-in-onedata conversion software solution that provides an easy-to-use andintuitive user interface for digitizing, georeferencing, coordinatereprojection, tiling, and creating image mosaics.Didger solves the problem of combining data filesin different file formats and in different coordinate systems, byproviding extensive tools to transform your GIS data into onecohesive coordinate system.
You can use Didger to precisely convert paper maps, graphs,aerial photographs, well logs, or any other plotted informationinto a versatile digital format that you can use with othersoftware. Didger can create new maps from the ground up or edit anyexisting map, drawing, image, or data set imported into it.
Uses for Didger:
Start processing your data quickly and accurately with Didger. Someapplications for Didger include:
– digitizing points, polylines, and polygons, such as oil and gaswells, wireline logs, graphs, contour lines, aerial photographs,satellite images
– georeferencing and/or mosaicking aerial photos or scannedimages
– overlaying vector, data, and image files to create a completemap
– calculating areas of polygons, such as watershed or lakeareas
– calculating lengths of polylines, such as shorelines, roads,streams, or migratory routes
– and much more!
Digitizing Options:
The process of creating new digital information often starts with apaper map, graph or log, or a digital image such as an aerialphoto, satellite imagery or scanned paper map. Didger provides aneasy and complete solution to digitize vector data from your sourcedocuments and files by using a powerful set of manual and automatictools.
Versatility:
Didger 5 is tremendously flexible. Didger supports over 90 importfile formats and exports in over 45 file formats to make sure youcan import and export your data in the formats you need. Createlarge overlays easily by importing several vector, data, or imagefiles into one project. The files will align according to theircoordinate systems.
Working with Images:
Images are powerful visualization tools, whether they are aerialphotographs, scanned geologic maps, or company logos. Didger makesworking with images simple and uncomplicated.
Easy Image Georeferencing:
Didger’s fast and easy georeferencing process makes it possible torapidly convert un-referenced images and scanned paper documents toreal world coordinate systems (e.g., UTM, State Plane,Latitude/Longitude) for use in Didger or other GIS programs.
Vector Based Maps & Data Files:
With Didger you can import a variety of vector based maps and datafiles in many formats. Create large coverages easily by importingseveral vector or data files into one project. The files will alignaccording to their coordinate systems.
Projections, Datums, Coordinates:
Didger makes it easy to assign or change the projection and/ordatum of your data, vector, or image files from one coordinatesystem to another. For example, in a few simple steps you canconvert latitude/longitude data to State Plane data, State Planedata to UTM data, or convert your data from NAD27 to NAD83.
Surfer Compatible:
Now it is easy to see your maps the way you want them!Automatically digitize contour or other 3D data in Didger and sendthem directly into Surfer with a click of a button to changecontour properties, overlay with 3D terrain surfaces, DEM files, orother 3D imagery.
Advanced Editing Features:
Didger is packed full of advanced editing features designed to makeyour job faster and easier.
Supported File Formats:
Many sophisticated import and export filters come with Didger,simplifying the transfer of your data and images to and from yourother applications.
Note on Digitizing Tablets:
Nearly all digitizing tablets work with Didger. If you already havea tablet, Didger requires a 32-bit WinTab compliant digitizingtablet driver, available from most tablet manufactures (for nocharge) or from third party vendors.
