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
== 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>
