The scalar grid layer is a special layer type which draws gridded data read from ASCII text files.The data can be drawn as:

  • Coloured grid cells
  • Contour lines, smoothed and with labels
  • Filled contours
  • A smoothed coloured image generated by interpolating the grid data

Filled Contours lines generated from a grid file

Contours can be generated at evenly-spaced levels on round numbers and the colour map can be edited.
