DEM files are used for storing DEMs processed by WMS. After clipping, thinning, or smoothing an imported DEM, save it to a WMS formatted file so that it can be recalled later without having to perform the same processing steps. The DEM file format is shown in Figure 1 and a sample file is shown in Figure 2.
