Line 1: =Introduction= This page contains a brief introduction to the Vertical Mapper plugin to MapInfo. There are a number of TUFLOW related tasks that can be performed in Vertical Mapper (abbreviated in this wiki as VM). The Vertical Mapper tasks which are repeatedly used in creating a TUFLOW model are described below, each of these has a separate page~~. If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please add them to the discussion page. [[Talk:Vertical_Mapper_Tips \| Please add Vertical Mapper Suggestions Here!]]~~. == ~~MapInfo~~Grid File Formats== A Vertical Mapper grid consists of two files: a MapInfo Table file (.tab) and a .grd (numeric grid) or .grc (classified grid). Most of the grids that are used in TUFLOW modelling are numeric grids (such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). At each cell in a grid, a value is stored. So for a DEM with cell resolution of 1m, each 1m x 1m cell has an elevation assigned. The Vertical Mapper Grid formats are binary format files and are only edited within the Vertical Mapper interface.<br> A number of files with the same name but different extensions make up a MapInfo table. A brief description of the MapInfo file formats, in particular the MapInfo Interchange (.MIF and .MID) are provided here: [[MapInfo_File_Formats \| MapInfo File Formats]].<br> Grids created with the TUFLOW_to_GIS utility are outputted in a .asc format, this is a text file which is recognised by Vertical Mapper, Spatial Analyst and QGIS. For more information see: <u>[[VM_Importing_Grid \| Importing Grids]]</u>. =Basics= In this section are some basic ~~MapInfo~~Vertical Mapper functions and menus that are regularly used ~~in creating TUFLOW models in MapInfo~~. # [[VM_Grid_Manager \| Grid Manager]] # [[VM_Importing_Grid \| Importing Grids]] # [[VM_Create_Grid \| Create a Grid from Points]] # [[~~VM_Inspect_Grid~~VM_Export_to_ASC \| ~~Inspect~~Export ~~Values~~Grid ~~from~~to ~~Grid(s)~~.asc format]] =Tips and Tricks= # [[VM_Inspect_Grid \| Inspect Values from Grid(s)]] # [[VM_Extract_Breakline_Elevations \| Create a Breakline from Vertical Mapper Grid]] # [[VM_Resize_Grid \| Resize a Grid]] ~~=Conclusion=~~ {{Tips Navigation \|uplink=[[MapInfo_Tips \| Back to MapInfo Tips]]}}
