1.1. Why GIFtools ?¶
The UBC-Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF) has developed a large number ofhigh-performance forward modeling and inversion codes over the last decades.While proving to be useful in characterizing the sub-surface, theusability of these codes remained challenging due to the number of complextasks needed from the user:
- Gather and format a wide range of geoscientific data
- Interact with various Fortran codes and utilities
- Manage and archive projects
GIFtools has been designed to facilitate the interaction between the practicinggeophysists and the various forward and inversion codes through a modular Framework. The front-end ofGIFtools is its Graphical User Interface (GUI) menu structure.
1.2. GIFtools Framework¶
The GIFtools Framework has been designed to store, visualize and modify thedifferent Objects needed to interact withthe various Fortran executable. In computer language, an object is acontainer holding a set of attributes and functions that can be used toperform tasks. You can think of it as computer hardware. For example, aGIFdata object knows all the necessarydetails about the geophysical experiment (location, receivers, units, etc.)and can perform actions (add/substract, write to file, plot, etc.)
Objects can be linked to each other, like building blocks, to achievemore complex tasks. For example, a Model needs a Mesh in order to exist in 3Dand be visualized.
More complex objects, such as a GIFinversion,need to know about many other objects in order to exist (Data, Mesh andModel). Once all the pieces are connected,the inversion object can interact with external Fortran codes and knows how tohandle the various outputs.
1.3. Graphical User Interface (GUI)¶
The next four subsections will describe the main components of GIFtools pointed out below:
The following video also introduces the look and feel of GIFtools:
1.3.1. Menus¶
GIFtools is menu driven. To perform any action, the user can select from the appropriate menu at the top of the GIFtools window (or right-click the object to bring up the menu options). The four main menus that are always available are:
- Project: This menu allows you to save / load / add a project, set the working directory (where the project will write/look for files) or set the number of OpenMP threads (for running inversions).
- Edit: This menu will let you rename, copy, or delete the object that is currently selected.
- Import: This is the main menu structure for importing items (data, meshes, etc) into GIFtools (see Importing Files for a list of items to import).
- Create: This menu allows the user to create items such as Folders (to keep the tree organized; see below), Workflows, Inversions, and other items that may call Fortran executables created by UBC-GIF
Beyond these four menus, additional menus will appear depending upon the item that is selected, such as Visualization (above is an example when selecting a mesh3D item):
1.3.2. Tree¶
All of the items in GIFtools fall under a GIFproject. Beyond that, each is present in the tree structure on the right-side. Folders can be created or are transformed (in the case of inversions that have been loaded) to contain other items. In the above case, the gravity gradiometry data (GGdata object), topography (TOPOdata object), and mesh (mesh3D object) are in the folder final, but are still in the project. To move items to a folder, simply left-click, drag-and-drop the item into the folder. To get items back to the main project folder, drag-and-drop to the GIFproject at the very top.
1.3.3. Information panel¶
Every item selected has a panel that shows up on the right-side of the main GIFtools window. This panel gives the user a brief over-view of the item, such as the number of cells for a mesh, or the number of frequencies in an FEMdata (Frequency-ElectroMagnetics Data) item. For data items, certain columns must be denoted in order to export them for inversion. These are known as input/output headers (often referred to as i/oheaders).
1.3.4. Notes section¶
This is a section where a log of what has happened to the selected item is recorded. Additionally, users may write their own comments in this section to remind them what was performed. To write notes, click on the note section and begin typing.
1.3.5. Need Help?¶
When you get to a dialog box and are not sure what to do, look for the question mark button:
The button will link you to a short tutorial on how (a) you got there and (b)what to do inside the dialog box. If you find a bad link, let us know here !

To install GIFtools, you will need to go the the website and download thelatest installation executable(Log-in required). To obtained a login, please contact us
2.1. Installation notes¶
The two available executables are either GIFtools_vXpX_install orGIFtools_vXpX_offlineInstall. The only difference is that the off-lineinstall is much bigger to ensure that the Matlab run-time environment that isneeded is accessible if not already installed. The former installationexecutable will use the internet to call Matlab to check on the environmentand download if necessary. Either way, you will need administratorprivileges. Once downloaded here are the 7 steps to follow:
- Double click on executable, which will lead you to this screen (you can trust us…):
If you use a proxy server and you are using the GIFtools_vXpX_install.exe, you will need to click on the Connection Settings button and put the server name and port along with a user ID and password to access the internet.
- Click Next and choose the installation directory for GIFtools. This does not necessarily need to be in
C:ProgramFilesGIF! If you have created another folder somewhere on your computer, you may install GIFtools there (e.g.,D:GIFtools)
NOTE 1: If you have previous versions of GIFtools on your computer, you can put the latest version in the parent directory (e.g., C:ProgramFilesGIF). This directory will also be where you should place all of your executables (i.e. inversion executables, MeshTools3D, etc.) that GIFtools would require. Here is an example:
NOTE 2: If you chose the Addashortcuttothedesktop option, you will need to perform step 7 on that shortcut too!
- Click Next: One of two things will now happen, either (1) you will have to install the run-time compiler or (2) the compiler will already be installed. If (1), follow the on-screen instructions (most likely just keep clicking next) and this will lead you to step 5. If (2) this window will show up:
Gif Tool Free
- You are ready for install! Click Install >. It will take a minute or two.
- If everything worked out, you will get to the screen below giving you step 7's instructions. Click Finish and read below to finish the install so the link is not broken.
- Fix the Start-in directory link for GIFtools. Go to the Start menu and find GIFtools_vXpX and right-click and select properties:
Note that the Start in: field is blank. Copy and paste the Target: field to the Start in: https://luststattoso1986.mystrikingly.com/blog/apple-icloud-app-android. field. Then remove GIFtools_vXpX.exe from the Start in field so that only the directory is present:
3 2 1 Gif
Sugar smash free download. Click Apply and then OK. GIFtools is now installed and can be started from the Start menu
Tip Cdock 1 1 0 – customize your dock.
Why did we have to do step 7? Windows makes a copy in the registry and starts GIFtools there. The visualization package (VTK) that is used requires static Java libraries and therefore GIFtools needs to be started where those dynamic libraries are located.
Tip
Manual shortcuts to desktop do not require step 7! If you have gone into GIFtools application directory, right-clicked and chose Createshortcut, then the the shortcut (by default it will ask you if you want to put it on the desktop) will already have the Start in: field adjusted.
