Creating Grids Using

Other Methods

Vertical Mapper comes with a number of data preparation and grid creation
methods that enable you to build grid files from data files and tables of regions,
polylines, or points.

This section discusses how to:

•

import grids from other formats

•

create point density grids (square area and kernel smoothing)

•

convert a region to a grid

•

buffer a grid

•

use the Poly-to-Point tool to prepare data for creating a grid
