Import / Export

: Converts files to and from Arc/Info GENERATE/UNGEN format.

: Converts files to and from ERDAS ".lan" and ".gis" format.

: Reads andf writes TIFF format files.

: Scans and extracts features from USGS DLG (Digital Line Graph) files into IDRISI vector format.

: Reads USGS 1:24,000 and 1:250,000 Digital Elevation Models.

: Imports USGS CTG (Composite Theme Grid) data files into IDRISI.

: Converts to and from Map Analysis Package files (both mainframe and micro versions).

: Converts to and from OSU-Map files.

: Converts ODYSSEY vector files to IDRISI vector format.

: Converts raster images entered with a spreadsheet to IDRISI. Can be used to read any ASCII image format with CR/LF characters at the end of each row.

: Converts palette files between IDRISI, ERDAS, ILWIS and IAX.

: Converts raster files between GRASS and IDRISI.

: Converts National Survey Blue Book format (*80* and *81* records) to IDRISI vector format.

: Converts ATLAS BNA files to IDRISI vector format.

: Reads and writes DXF format vector files.

: OUTPOST creates PostScript output from IDRISI vector files for export to desktop publishing software. OUTPOST also allows for the creation of PostScript groups based on a sorting of identifiers or of values in an attribute values file.

: NEWMOD is a program shell to aid in the creation of new modules. Two versions are supplied: one in PASCAL and the other in BASIC.
