The GX API (Application Programming Interface) is an extensive 64-bit API to Geosoft libraries. The API can be used to both extend Oasis montaj and to access Geosoft libraries from stand-alone programs.
The API supports working with the Geosoft environment from a number of programming languages, as noted in the table below.
| Language | API Reference |
|---|---|
| Geosoft GX Language | The Geosoft GX Language API is documented as comments in the GXH header files that are installed as part of GX Developer.
|
Pythonic "gxpy" module 9.1 reference | |
| .NET Development | |
| C/C++ Development | There is no reference documentation for the C and C++ APIs available at this time. The C API exposes all same functions that are exposed to the GXC language. Since it is much harder to use than the C++ API it is no longer recommended to make direct use of the C API. The GX C++ API is a recent introduction and is simply a wrapper that hides the complexity of the C API functions behind a cleaner interface. It was developed to implement the Python API layer so the class and method naming follows the same conventions. The C++ class uses exceptions to report errors and also uses smart pointers and internal thread local storage geosoft handle to the prevent having to pass this to all API calls. C and C++ include files, lib files and examples can be found in folder:
