FAQ
MTW to ICO 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 ICO files?
ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
