The Bathymetric Attributed Grid is a nonproprietary file format for storing bathymetric data. By creating an ASCII description file that describes the layout of the image data, black-and-white, grayscale, pseudo color, and multiband image data can be displayed without translation into a proprietary format.ĭata file-extension *.bil, *.bip, or *.bsqĨ-, and 16-bit signed and unsigned integer This format provides a method for reading and displaying decompressed, BIL, BIP, and BSQ image data.

The data consists of raster images and other graphics generated by scanning source documents. ADRG is geographically referenced using the equal arc-second raster chart/map (ARC) system in which the globe is divided into 18 latitudinal bands, or zones.
