Grid data

Maarten Hilferink edited this page Sep 27, 2026 · 15 revisions

Grid data are numeric or boolean attributes for a grid domain.

In GeoDMS applications, grid data is often spatial, meaning it describes a rectangle of the earth surface.

The spatial reference of grid data is derived from the projection information of the domain unit.

read/write

Grid data in GeoDMS projects can be read from and/or written to the following formats:

  • GeoTiff format (advised format)
  • BMP (undocumented; since GeoDMS 20.22.0 a grid reads back as it was written, where 20.20.0 failed every read and older versions shifted the rows by one)
  • ASCII Grid
  • Arc Info Binary Grid
  • NetCDF

calculations

Most functions in the GeoDMS apply to attributes of both one-dimensional and grid domains.

The Grid functions apply only to attributes of grid domains, as they calculate with the two-dimensional structure of the data.
