Atlas of Canada
The Atlas of Canada data provide coverage for all of Canada. Data elements are feature-coded and structurally clean. Base map components are available in five scales and in a number of data exchange formats. The 1: 1 000 000 and 1: 7 500 000 scales are the primary bases for all Atlas products. The 1: 30 000 000 scale data have been generalized from the two larger scales.
GeoPixelCounter
GeoPixelCounter is a Java-based program that can be used to estimate the the percentage of various minerals in a thin section of rock that has been digitally scanned into an image file. The program allows the user to click on a pixel in the image and then all other pixels that are close in color to the clicked-upon pixel will be changed to a new, easily visible color. A slider allows the user to adjust the degree of closeness between the clicked-upon color and the other pixels. For a thin section, the user would click on a grain and then other grains with the same properties will be colored in. A percentage of pixels for each selection is also computed.
