GMF files are different than most other C Tech file formats in that the data is specifically NOT associated with borings. GMF files can be viewed using post samples, but file statistics can often be more useful, especially when dealing with large datasets.
Let’s build a new application:
file statistics (and post samples) will only display a single surface of a GMF file at one time. The advantage of file statistics is that it will provide the extents and basic statistics information. The Data Component parameter determines which surface is displayed. 0 (zero) is the first surface.
file statistics outputs points which are colored by elevation (for GMF files).
Double click on file statistics and select the file Reference\bottom.gmf. In the Application window at the top or the Application Properties, make sure the Z-Scale is set to 5.0.
The viewer should show:
In the view above, each point is displayed as a single pixel point. You can increase the size to be a square of 2x2 pixels or larger using the Point Width parameter.
When file statistics runs, it provides the following information to the Information window.
Note that Number of Bins was set to 10, and Detailed Statistics was turned on.
