FAQ
BT to PS Conversion
What are BT files?
BT is a binary terrain format developed by Ben Discoe for the Virtual Terrain Project (VTP) to store regular elevation grids used in 3D terrain visualization and simulation. A file of this type consists of a fixed 256-byte header followed by an uncompressed array of elevation samples, stored as 16-bit integers, 32-bit integers, or 32-bit floating-point numbers. The header carries the grid dimensions, sample size, horizontal units, geographic extents, datum, and, for projected data, a UTM zone, while a complete projection definition may be supplied in an accompanying .prj file. Elevation samples are written column by column, starting from the western edge and moving south to north within each column. The format is used to exchange digital elevation models between terrain-building tools and visualization software, and is often distributed in a gzip-compressed .bt.gz form.
What are PS files?
The PS (Postscript) file format is used for vector graphics and was first introduced in the 1980s. Its main advantages are an increased quality of printing when using printers which support the Postscript computer language, and a better rendering of fonts. The PS formats was developed by Adobe and is compatible with several programs running under the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
