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 [[GMS:2D_Grid_Menu|''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 [[GMS:2D_Grid_Menu|''Grid'' menu]]: | ||
==Grid | ==Grid → 2D Scatter Points== | ||
The '''''Grid | 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 datasets associated with the grid and the datasets are associated with the new scatter point set. | ||
==Grid | ==Grid → TIN== | ||
A new TIN can be created from a 2D grid by selecting the '''''Grid | 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 | ==Grid → 2D Mesh== | ||
A new 2D finite element mesh can be created from a 2D grid by selecting the '''''Grid | 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 | ==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. | Creates a new feature coverage containing arcs derived from the linear contours on the 2D grid.
