FAQ
XYZ to JPG 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 JPG files?
JPG is one of the most popular image file formats currently in use, often referred to as a standard for uploading images online and for displaying photographs. One of its main advantages is providing a good image quality in a relatively small file size, which is easy to store and transfer. JPG uses a type of compression that prioritizes the quality of some image sections over others, thus assuring that most favorable quality/size ratio.
