Instructions for maing a !"#$ready %&" '.grd file( from )*#" .hgt files.
+++++++++
,-. %o/nload )*#" files.
0 place to start is
http122///2.3pl.nasa.go42srtm2
%o/nload a rectangular bloc if you are going to follo/ these directions
exactly, since the grdmerge command can only paste together t/o blocs /ith edges
of the same length.
,2. 5opy or create the example files ,included at end of this file.1
grdraster.info
srtm2grd
gridmerge
,6. &dit grdraster.info to list the information for each of your )*#" files
grdraster.info can only be used for 60 files at a time. If you /ant to con4ert
more than 60 .hgt files in .grd files they must be batched into groups of 60 or
less.
7ou probably only need to change
,-. the I% number
,2. the $* lat2lon specification
,6. the file location
#here is additional documentation in the file itself.
,4. 8lace grdraster.info in your 92!"# directory
,5. "ae sure your .cshrc file has this line1
seten4 !"#_!*I%%I* 2home2'your subdirectory, :u2: or :u6:(2'your username(2gmt
example1
seten4 !"#_!*I%%I* 2home2u62lhsu2gmt
,6. &dit the srtm2grd file ,again, the I%, $*, and file location are the entities
you probably need to change.
example1
grdraster 450 $*;62;426626< $I0.05m $!=
2data24el420#2!"#2>?*@%#?8?2IA%I02A66&0;6.grd $B
,<. "ae sure your srtm2grd file is executable ,chmod <-- srtm2grd. and run
,;. &dit the gridmerge script for your geographic location, or use the grdpaste
command manually to create your full bloc
,9. Cse !"# ,for example grdimage. to create an image
example1
grdimage 'yourgridfile.grd( $&600 $5!"#_relief.cpt $D=
Epro3ectionF $*=ErangeF $8 $G $? $B HH =EpsfileF

I
I file_number is an integer used to tell grdraster /hich raster to read. It must
I be uniNue to each raster.
I Ltitle stringL is a brief description of the data.
I LM unitsL describes the units of the data after they are scaled and offset.
I $*O/H2OeH2OsH2OnH describes the range of the raster in the usual !"# $* manner.
I $IOx_incH2Oy_incH describes the sampling inter4al in the usual !"# $I manner.
I !or8 is either ! or 8, indicating !rid or 8ixel registration.
I type is one of the follo/ing, indicating the ind of data stored in the raster1
I b bit data, either 0 or -, one bit per data 4alue.
I u unsigned character data.
I c signed character data.
I d unsigned t/o$byte integer data.
I i signed t/o$byte integer data.
I scale is a number /hich should be multiplied on the raster 4alue after read.
I offset is a number /hich should be added to the 'scaled( raster 4alue.
I AaAflag is a number /hich is /ritten in the raster to represent AaA.
I If all 4alues in the raster represent data, AaAflag is none.
I filename is the name the raster file. If filename begins /ith a L2L, then
I it /ill be treated as a complete name. If not, the complete name /ill
I be formed as =,!"#_!*I%%I*.2filename.
I ?ptionally, you may append a single character ) to indicate that this data set
I needs to be byte s/apped on this machine. Pecause binary data sets are not
I architecture$independent a file /ritten on, say, a )olaris computer /ill ha4e
I a different byte order than a 85 ,@inux or >IA62.. 7ou ha4e t/o alternati4e
