17. Supported File Formats

17.1. For Loading Tiles

In order to correctly position the images each image tile file should be accompanied

by an equivalent "world file" which contains positional data. This data should come

from a GPS linked into Seanet Pro. If a GPS is available Seanet Pro will automatically

create a world file with the correct data when a

Snapshot

is taken.

The following file formats are supported:

Image Type

World File

.bmp

.bpw

.jpeg/.jpg

.jgw

.tiff/.tif

.tfw

.png

.pgw

Note

The image file and world file should have the same filename (i.e.,

sonar.bmp

and

sonar.bpw

Note

The image tiles have to be saved from the latest version of Seanet Pro; if

an older version is used they will not open in the Sonar Image Tiler. If

in doubt, remove the current version of Seanet Pro and either download

the latest version from

www.tritech.co.uk

or re-install from the CD-ROM

which contained the Image Tiler installation program.

17.2. Saving Images or Mosaics

Saving an image can either be the whole chart (with any visible tiles or markers), a

marked out section or a mosaic of tiles either way the supported formats are:

.bmp

Bitmap image

.kmz

Google Earth format

.png

Portable Network Graphic

Note

The Sonar Image Tiler will automatically create at matching world file

for the saved image.
