VERSION 2 : NEW & UPDATED FEATURES
SpatialXL is an add-in to Microsoft Excel 2007/2010
SpatialXL is an add-in to
Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010
which gives Microsoft Excel
full mapping and graphics
capability, including the
ability to link spatial or
graphics elements back to
Excel or to other data
sources such as a database.
Supported Mining Formats
SpatialXL can read and display the following formats:
Shape files
Microstation DGN
AutoCAD DXF
AutoCAD DWG
SQL Server 2005/2008
Access Database
Oracle Spatial
Datamine
CSV
Gemcom Surpac
Excel spreadsheets
Bing
Images (TIFF, JPEG, BMP etc)
Any other OLE DB Source
Oracle Spatial
Any other OGC Compatible Source
Ability to extract geometries from data
such as lines, polygons etc and a query
builder to work with databases.
Save your work by simply saving the spreadsheet.
Displaying Data Formats together Whether you are loading
shape files
simultaneously with data
from a database and
displaying it over Bing,
you can display any
formats simultaneously
with any other formats in
SpatialXL. This example
shows SQL Server
database data together
with Gemcom Surpac,
together with DXF files
together with Shape files.
Thematic Colouring
Whether you are colouring by a text field, numeric range, or even using different images or
charts to display different thematic values, SpatialXL is excellent for hotspot reporting or general
indications of high and low values or types of data.
Borehole de-surveying
• Extract collars as points
• Add surveys
• Extract segments such as
lithologies
• Build surfaces from start
and end points or between
points.
NEW FEATURE
Contour a variable
Contour a variable as if it was a Z axis.
NEW FEATURE
Save to a database
• Save to the OGC Well Known Binary format in SQL Server or SpatialExtender and soon Oracle.
• Save to the OGC Well Known Text format in SQL Server or SpatialExtender and soon Oracle.
• Save to the
Microsoft SQL Server
native geometry format.
• Save to MineDB
(www.MineDB.biz)
geometry plus format.
MineDB allows
three dimensional data
and triangulated surfaces.
NEW FEATURE
Drawing and editing
2D or 3D drawing of points, lines, polygons, and text now in SpatialXL.
Also editing of surfaces now available with ability to delete facets or vertices or flip surfaces.
NEW FEATURE
Build walls and dumps NEW FEATURE
Input transforms
Input transformations such as scales, rotations,
shifts and even survey to Cartesian, will do an
on-the-fly transformation of your source data.
You can set up your own as well.
NEW FEATURE
Linking data between different data sources
Link spatial data to non-spatial
data in a spread sheet,
database or file by using a
particular column or columns
as the linking column.
You can aggregate, colour etc
by linked data and also find
data based on the linked
fields. You can even save
linked data back to the original
geometry data type, as long as
that type allows the additional
data.
Volume, Length and Area measurement
Volume, Length and area measurements are part of a simple data grid which you can paste into
Excel very simply. Measurements are done in accurate lengths no matter what the current
projection is with a measuring tool.
Drawing and Annotation
You can draw and annotate inside your spreadsheet and can also edit geometries if the right
settings are activated. Here is an example of adding a simple annotation layer.
Map Bookmarks
You can go back to previous view by simply saving a map bookmark, or multiple bookmarks in
your spreadsheet. When you send the spreadsheet to someone else, they can also view your
bookmarks and notes in Excel to see the map as you saw it.
Saving to original or other formats
You can edit and save
geometries and other
data in SpatialXL. You
can save a DXF file as a
shape file, or database
data to shape files for
instance. You can also
add columns to the data
with calculated fields
and save that back to
the original formats or
into a different format, as
long as the format allows
such data.
Using projections
All projections of the
Open Geospatial
Consortium are
included. You can
also specify your
own projection and
validate that.
Projection can also
be done on the fly,
converting layer
projections to the
scene projection.
Image handling
Images (TIFF, BMP, JPEG and others) can be placed using the World Coordinates accompanying
the image, even the transparency can be set for the image!
Original Colouring and CAD Text
For DGN and DWG files for instance, there is an original colouring in Microstation that SpatialXL
follows as much as
is possible.
You can still change the
colours by using thematics
etc, but when the changes
are removed, the geometries
will go back to the original
colouring.
Instead of only doing labels
based on attributes,
SpatialXL can also draw 2D and 3D text and place these as geometries.
Layer operations
Creating new layers with buffering data or selected data can also be done in SpatialXL. Here is
an example of creating a new layer from selected data.
Surface Building
Surface building from
points or from
selected lines can be
done in SpatialXL.
In this example we
built a surface from
line strings in a
DataMine file.
Contouring
Contouring is also a
feature in SpatialXL.
Sections
SpatialXL supports sections either at single or
regular intervals in any direction.
Section graphs are now available.
UPDATED FEATURE
Cut and Fill
Cut and fill
done with
perimeters and
a breakdown
into levels.
UPDATED FEATURE
