chosen based on the number of control points specified.
• ALLOW_SELECTION - set to NO to disable selection of features from this layer using either the
Feature Info or Digitizer Tools.
IMPORT_ARCHIVE
The IMPORT_ARCHIVE command imports a data file from a .tar.gz archive for later use. The only time you
should ever need to use the IMPORT_ARCHIVE command is when you only want to load some of the data
inside a .tar.gz archive. For the typical case of just loading everything in an archive, use the IMPORT
command with AUTO as the value for the TYPE parameter. The following parameters are supported by the
command.
• ARCHIVE_FILENAME - full path to the archive file to load the data from
• FILENAME - filename to load from the archive
• NOTE: All other parameters that are supported by the IMPORT command are also supported by this
command.
IMPORT_ASCII
Global Mapper User's Manual
The IMPORT_ASCII command imports data from a generic ASCII text file for later use. The following
parameters are supported by the command.
• FILENAME - full path to file to load the data from
• TYPE - type of import that we're doing
♦ POINT_ONLY - all lines with coordinate data will result in a new point object begin created
♦ POINT_AND_LINE - both point and line features will be created from coordinate data in the
file. Line features will be created when coordinate data lines are back to back in the file. All
individual coordinate lines will result in a point object being created
♦ ELEVATION - all lines in the file with 3 coordinate values (x,y, and elevation) will be used
to create an elevation grid. The data will be triangulated and gridded automatically, resulting
in a fully usable elevation grid that can be exported to any of the supported elevation data
formats.
• COORD_DELIM - specifies the delimeter between coordinates in coordinate lines
♦ AUTO - automatically detect the delimeter type (default)
♦ WHITESPACE - coordinates are separated with one or more space and/or tab characters
♦ COMMA - coordinates are separated by commas
♦ SEMICOLON - coordinates are separated by semicolons
♦ TAB - coordinates are separated by tabs
• COORD_ORDER specifies the order of the coordinates in coordinate lines
♦ X_FIRST - x coordinates (i.e. easting or longitude) come first, followed by y coordinates (i.e.
northing or latitude) (default)
♦ Y_FIRST - y coordinates (i.e. northing or latitude) come first, followed by x coordinates (i.e.
easting or longitude)
• COORD_PREFIX - if present, this line is used to specify what special character sequence coordinate
lines start with. For example, if the coordinate lines in the file started with the character sequence
"XY,", you should use COORD_PREF="XY,". By default no coordinate prefix is assumed.
• INC_COORD_LINE_ATTRS - set the value of this parameter to YES if you wish to use any leftover
text at the end of coordinate lines as attributes for the feature the coordinates are in. This could be
