How do I Make GeoWall Images from My Data? Most common request There are several software packages, often not free Introducing…
What Is HoloDraw ? Designed to read YOUR data Works with GMT maps and scripts Produces VRML images for GeoWall Web browsers (need a plug-in)
HoloDraw examples Tomography Hypocenters Evaluating and refining proposed models
HoloDraw examples of “XYZA” data “XYZ” is location of hypocenter “A” can be some Attribute you would like to represent in color In this case A (the color) represents the date of the quake Colors can be assigned using a GMT Color Palette Table (.cpt file)
HoloDraw can make 3D plots of Points point:x y z Lines line:x y z, x y z… Solid surfaces polygon:x y z, x y z…
From GMT to HoloDraw (Thomas et al.,2003)
How to Get Started with HoloDraw Download from Software runs on Unix, Mac or Windows Web site also has copies of all images shown today, so you can download to your GeoWall
