FAQ
MTW to CGM Conversion
What are MTW files?
MTW is the matrix version of the Raster Matrix Format, a format of the GIS programs Panorama and Integration, used to store digital elevation models. A file of this type contains a grid in which every cell holds the height of the terrain, so that it can serve as the basis for relief maps, profiles, slope analysis, and three-dimensional views. Its sibling, the .rsw file, belongs to the same format family but holds ordinary pictures, such as scanned maps and aerial photographs. An MTW file also records how the values should be read, including the units, which can be meters, decimeters, centimeters, or millimeters, and whether the heights are absolute elevations. It also carries simple georeferencing, so that the grid can be placed on a map.
What are CGM files?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a format that contains vector graphics information (clip art, drawings) associated with graphics design or CAD programs. As opposed to other types of metafiles, such as EMF or WMF, CGM files are not only supported by Windows, but can be used on different platforms too. They are encoded using binary, character-based of clear-text encoding.
