FAQ
XYZ to APNG Conversion
What are XYZ files?
XYZ is a very simple text format for terrain and other surface data, in which every line gives the position of a point and the value measured there. The three letters stand for the east-west coordinate X, the north-south coordinate Y, and the value Z, which is most often a height but may also be a temperature, a depth, or any other quantity. In its gridded form, the points sit at regular intervals, so the file describes a map made of equal cells, and each line holds the center of one cell and its value. Because it can be opened in any text editor and produced by a few lines of script, the format is a favorite for exchanging elevation data between programs, although the files are large compared with binary formats.
What are APNG files?
The APNG format is also known as "animated PNG" and is made up of a series of PNG files of the same size that are connected as an animation. APNG files are similar in function with GIFs, but they support better quality images and transparency.
