Questions & Answers
XYZ files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are XYZ files?
XYZ (ASCII Gridded XYZ) is a plain-text raster in which each line holds at least three values: the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the center of a cell, and the value of the cell. The columns may be separated by spaces, commas, semicolons, or tabs, and a header line with column names such as x, lon, or east, y, lat, or north, and z, alt, or height can tell a program which column is which. Without a header, the first three columns are used and any further columns are ignored. For the file to be a grid, the spacing between cells must be constant, and for a given X the lines must follow in increasing or decreasing order of Y. A scattered set of points, for example from a laser survey, does not fit this description and must first be interpolated to a grid. The size and the resolution are found by scanning the entire file, so opening a large file can take a while, and the type of the values, such as bytes, integers, or decimals, is detected from the numbers. To convert an XYZ file to graphics, a program builds the grid from the coordinates, places each value in its cell, marks gaps as transparent, and paints the values with a grayscale or color ramp, or shades them as relief. The result can be saved as PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or GeoTIFF with coordinates. Supported by Surfer, ProRaster, and the Generic Mapping Tools.
