GRD to EMF Conversion
What are GRD files?
GRD is a file extension shared by several grid formats, which store a map as a regular net of cells with one value in each cell. The best known is the Surfer grid of Golden Software, used for contour maps and 3D surfaces of elevation, geology, and other measured data, and it exists in text and binary versions. The Northwood numeric grid, created for the Vertical Mapper add-on and now associated with MapInfo, serves a similar purpose and is common in mapping and telecom planning. The R programming environment uses .grd for the header of its native raster files, with the values kept in a separate .gri file. Because the same extension covers all of these, the contents of a file, not its name, tell which one it is.
What are EMF files?
EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a format used by the Windows operating system to store spooling information connected to printing. The term "spooling" comes from the acronym for "simultaneous peripheral operations online" and represents the creation of a list of tasks scheduled for completion by Windows at a later time. EMF files can contain vector or bitmap components and they replaced the original WMF (Windows Metafile) format, using a 32-bit structure instead of a 16-bit one and thus providing better quality of printing.
