6.5 Madagascar

A generic user interface exists to Madagascar, an open source seismic processing package that is very popular in seismic R&D communities. In the builder, seismic pre- and poststack input and output files are either OpendTect or Madagascar formatted. The processing flow is constructed as a sequence of Madagascar programs, using their parameters. These programs are selected from a list of available programs (presently over 300), with a search field included to guide the user.

Madagascar processing results can be further analysed in OpendTect.

1. First Madagascar must be installed in order to use this interface between OpendTect and Madagascar.
2. It's not possible to view Madagascar plots directly from the OpendTect user interface on Windows. If the user wants to see the plot, she/he has to make her/his own arrangements like starting the xserver etc ...

Problems may occur occasionally when using Madagascar on a Windows system.
