FAQ
LCP to PGM Conversion
What are LCP files?
LCP (FARSITE Landscape File) is a multi-layer map file used by programs that simulate how wildland fires spread, such as FARSITE and FlamMap, which were developed for the U.S. Forest Service and other land agencies. To model a fire, the software needs to know what the land is like, and an LCP file puts that information together in one grid: the height of the ground, the steepness and direction of the slopes, the type of vegetation fuel, and how thickly trees cover the ground. Additional layers can describe the tree canopy and the litter on the ground. The format is widely used in fire management planning, and the national LANDFIRE program distributed its landscape data in this form for many years.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
