Subject: [gislist] Translating DEMs to ESRI ASCII
Date:  10/23/2003 09:55:01 AM
From:  Joe LeMonnier



Does anyone know of a way to translate GTOPO30 (or Globe) into ESRI
ASCII? I'm not sure if ESRI ASCII is the same thing as "ASCII grid" but
the file format I need is just a grid of 16bit (I think) numbers that
lay out somewhat like a grid in Textedit or BBEdit. A small header sits
on top.

I work on a Mac and if I can just get it into an ascii matrix, I could
manually place the required header there myself. So, how then can I can
GTOPO30 (or any form of DEM) translated into an ascii file that will
read as a "matrix" in BBEdit? All I need is the elevation data

I'm hoping that there will be a way to do this cheaply without having
to buy something like FME. I s there a PC solution? I've got access to
a 7 year-old PC running Win98 if necessary.

Thanks,


Joe LeMonnier
