Select Shape File Objects

After you import a shape file, you can use the Select Line or Select Region tool from the Map Tools toolbar to select the shape file object.

When you click on an object on a shape file layer, GeoVista highlights the object in a different color and displays the object's information in a box. The following example shows what happens when you select a seismic line on a shape file layer that displays eight fields.

Even though the information box shows all eight fields, it only has values for five of the fields. This is because in the shape file, the line did not have any information entered for the other three fields, so GeoVista obviously cannot display any values.
