The header is similar as the head file of vector binary format but contains bounding box also. Key words are:
ORGANIZATION DIGIT DATE DIGIT NAME MAP NAME MAP DATE MAP SCALE OTHER INFO ZONE WEST EDGE EAST EDGE SOUTH EDGE NORTH EDGE MAP THRESH
The body begins with the row:
VERTI:
TYPE NUMBER_OF_COORDINATES [NUMBER_OF_CATEGORIES] X Y [Z] .... X Y [Z] [ LAYER CATEGORY] .... [ LAYER CATEGORY]
The primitive codes are as follows:
The order of coordinates is
X Y [Z]
Y X
Latitude/Longitude data may be given in a number of ways.
Decimal degrees must be positive or negative instead of using a hemisphere
letter. Mixed coordinates must use a hemisphere letter. Whole minutes and
seconds must always contain two digits (example: use 167:03:04.567;
and not 167:3:4.567).
Acceptable formats:
key: D=Degrees; M=Minutes; S=Seconds; h=Hemisphere (N,S,E,W)
