Introduction A-Z Raster Files

Datatypes, Filestructures

IDRISI handles its files such that the user won't get in touch with internal structures too often.
But: basically knowing how your data are being stored can help considerably in understanding the procedures they underlay. Solutions to dataimport or -export problems are gained more easily. Especially educational purposes profit by the very simple and straightforward filestructures that IDRISI uses. Be aware of much more IDRISI-specific filetypes than those presented. Most of them are very simple and need not be documented in detail here. So our focus will be upon the following essential filetypes:
