We use reaConverter in our department to handle image and document conversions for multiple teams. The Watch Folders function is brilliant — I configured different folders for different workflows, and now everything happens automatically in the background. No more manual conversions or missed files. Rock-solid performance!

Questions & Answers

SG-GRD-Z files: Frequently Asked Questions

What are SG-GRD-Z files?

SG-GRD-Z is a ZIP archive that holds a complete SAGA grid in one file. Inside the archive are the .sgrd text header, which describes the number of columns and rows, the position, the cell size, the type of numbers, and the value for missing data, the .sdat file with the binary values, and the .prj file with the projection. Because the standard ZIP method is used, the archive can be examined with ordinary archive tools, and the files inside keep the structure of a normal SAGA grid. Compressing the data is especially effective for grids with large uniform areas, such as the flat parts of a terrain model, or for masks and classified maps, where the same values repeat many times. Packing the files together also prevents the common mistake of losing the header or the projection when a grid is moved or sent to someone. To convert an SG-GRD-Z grid to graphics, a program reads the archive, takes the header and the values, restores the real numbers using the stated type and scale, and marks missing cells as transparent. The grid is then painted with a grayscale or color ramp, or turned into a shaded relief picture, and saved as PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or GeoTIFF with its coordinates. Supported by SAGA GIS.
