FAQ
GRI to DIS Conversion
What are GRI files?
GRI is the data file of the native raster format of the raster package for the R programming environment, which is widely used for statistics and spatial analysis. It holds the cell values of a map or a satellite image as a plain sequence of numbers, without compression, and it is always accompanied by a small text file with the same name and the .grd extension. The text file describes what the numbers mean: the size of the grid, the area it covers, the coordinate system, the type of values, and the names of the layers. Neither file can be used alone. The format is simple and flexible, so it is convenient for saving intermediate results, such as terrain models, climate layers, or land cover maps, when working in R.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
