 What's New in ioGAS 7.0
New features in this release include:

New user interface

l ribbon toolbars - File, Data, Calculation, Analysis, Graph, Map, Diagram, Spider &
Help
l home ribbon - frequently used tools from File, Graph and Map ribbons
l common band - group of commonly used tools replicated on most ribbons com-
prising open, save, select variables, attribute manager, data and pause updates

l window band - selected ribbons only. Legend window, list of open windows, win-
dow settings, etc

 l quick access toolbar - display all open windows, legend window and help file

l updated context toolbars

l right click to display modes
l left/right toolbar display
l double column toolbars

 l updated plot colour sequence
l capability to switch between colour sequences

Pause/resume rendering operation

Pause updates to open plot windows while modifications are made to the
Attribute Manager to batch operations together. Useful if one or more memory-

intensive plots (such as a SPLOM) are open. Resume updates to refresh all plot
windows to show the current state of the Attribute Manager.

Interoperability
l ArcGIS Pro ioGAS Plugin - import ioGAS data and attributes into 64-bit ESRI AGP
version 2.0 or later. Download external plugin from our website.

l acQuireDirect for ioGAS link - import data from acQuire GIM suite using
acQuireDirect API. Use existing selection file or create new selections.

 Calculations:
l tool redesign
l use expression within calculations
l new univariate mode (null = 0)
l support for CIPW normative calculations (see Provided Calculations menu)

 Colour cells by ranked percentile in Data view
Colour the cells in a variable column based on ranked percentile value.

Downhole/line plots:
l tool re-design
l new single trace (by variable) option

© Imdex Limited 2018 -8- RTI-MAN-0355 V1

 l scrolling windows display up to 50 plots
l set custom variable X-axis ranges

Centred ternary plot

© Imdex Limited 2018 -9- RTI-MAN-0355 V1

 Make variables from spider normalisation values
Add normalised values for each element to the dataset as new columns.

Expanded variable map thematic operations:

l use with all Attribute Manager and custom bin ranges
l new 1, 2, 5, 10 times background thematic operation

© Imdex Limited 2018 - 10 - RTI-MAN-0355 V1

 Column join:
l add new or update existing data

Reduced major axis regression algorithm

Available in XY, SPLOM regression lines and from Analysis menu regression tool

Open templates with aliased data

l convert aliased data on-the-fly to required variables. Access provided and user
templates via the File ribbon or from the Open drop-down menu on other ribbons.

 Display 3D vectors
Overlay a 3D vector on each visible point on the 3D plot. The vector can represent any 3
quantities, such as vector magnetic data, or the first 3 principal components of a PCA.

Improvements:

General
l sync recent files list in multiple ioGAS sessions
l improved startup speed
l navigation keystrokes for common use items
l Ctrl-L to display legend window
l Alt-H, D, A, C, I, S and E to display corresponding ribbon
l Alt-W to display list of currently open windows
l Ctrl-Shift-W to close all windows
l Ctrl-Q exit ioGAS
