[GRASSLIST:2681] Importing VRML97 file

GRASS GRASS user

Hello,

I have a map in VRML97 that I would like to import
into GRASS. Is there a way I can do this?

Thank you,

Not directly; you would need to convert the VRML file into one of the
formats which GRASS understands.

What is actually in the VRML file? If it's essentially an
ElevationGrid node, you could:

1. Extract the list of values from the "height" field into a separate
   file,
2. remove any commas,
3. add a suitable header (see the r.in.ascii manpage), and
4. import the result into GRASS with r.in.ascii.
