Technical note

Before you convert DT2 to JXL

Every cell in a DT2 file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. JXL stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the JXL returns a shade, not an altitude. Missing cells in an elevation grid, such as water, radar shadow or the edge of a survey, are not empty: they hold a sentinel value, -32768 in SRTM, -32767 in DTED and very often -9999 in ESRI grids. Counted as a real height, that value stretches the scale so far that the actual terrain collapses into a few near-identical shades. When a JXL output looks flat and washed out, a void treated as data is the usual cause.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see DT2 data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to JXL for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to JXL with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

DT2 to JXL Conversion

What are DT2 files?

DT2 is the file extension for Level 2 of Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), the high-resolution tier of the elevation series standardized in MIL-PRF-89020 by the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). A file of this type covers a one-degree by one-degree cell with a post spacing of 1 arc-second, about 30 meters at the equator, which makes it suitable for detailed terrain work such as viewshed modeling, slope analysis, route planning, and flood simulation. It is the most detailed of the three standard levels, following the .dt0 and .dt1 products. The content is organized as header records with identification and accuracy information, followed by a regular grid of elevation values for the cell. Because of its fine sampling, Level 2 files are considerably larger than those of the lower levels.
