2D Grids may be converted to other types of data used in GMS, such as a [[GMS:TIN Module|TIN]], [[GMS:2D Mesh Module|2D mesh]], or [[GMS:2D Scatter Point Module|2D scatter points]]. 2D Grids can be converted by using the following commands in the ''Grid'' menu: | 2D Grids may be converted to other types of data used in GMS, such as a [[GMS:TIN Module|TIN]], [[GMS:2D Mesh Module|2D mesh]], or [[GMS:2D Scatter Point Module|2D scatter points]]. 2D Grids can be converted by using the following commands in the ''Grid'' menu: | ||
==Grid -> 2D Scatter Points== | |||
The '''''Grid -> 2D Scatter Points''''' command in the ''Grid'' menu is used to create a new scatter point set using the nodes or cells of a 2D grid. A copy is made of each of the data sets associated with the grid and the data sets are associated with the new scatter point set. | |||
==Grid -> TIN== | |||
A new TIN can be created from a 2D grid by selecting the '''''Grid -> TIN''''' command from the ''Grid'' menu. Two triangles are created from each cell in the grid. | |||
==Grid -> 2D Mesh== | |||
A new 2D finite element mesh can be created from a 2D grid by selecting the '''''Grid -> 2D Mesh''''' command from the ''Grid'' menu. A four node quadrilateral element is created from each cell in the grid. | |||
==Contours -> Arcs== | |||
Creates a new feature coverage containing arcs derived from the linear contours on the 2D grid. The command only works if linear contours are being displayed. | |||
