DTMHeader: DTMHeader

In rFUSION: Interface to FUSION

Description

DTMHeader is an interactive program. It is described in the Command Line Utility section because it provides a means to examine and modify PLANS DTM file header information. DTMHeader allows you to easily view and change the header information for a PLANS DTM file. To make it most convenient, associate the .dtm extension with DTMHeader so you can simply double-click a .dtm file to view the header. The values in the header that can be modified are: Planimetric units, Elevation units, Descriptive name, Coordinate system and zone, Horizontal datum, Vertical datum.

Usage

DTMHeader(fusion.path = "C:/FUSION/", filename)

Arguments

fusion.path	Character. By default: C:/FUSION/. Path where the program FUSION is installed.
filename	is a character.Name for output canopy surface file (stored in PLANS DTM format with .dtm extension).

Details

The ENVI data file is created using the same numeric format as the PLANS DTM file. All PLANS DTM data types are supported. Geo-referencing information is included in the ENVI header file using the “map info” tag. Areas in the DTM grid that have no data will be “marked” with a value of -9999.0 in the ENVI format file and the appropriate value will be included in the “data ignore value” tag in the ENVI header file.

Value

No return value. This function return the command prompt running the FUSION command
