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!]]~~. == 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). ~~are~~ ~~numeric~~At ~~grids~~each cell in a grid, a value is stored. ~~These~~So ~~gird~~for ~~files~~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> 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.
