Significance of the File

contains digitized data for structures as input data for different programs concerning finite element grid generation, grid manipulation (depth) and graphic display of the structures

File-Contents (in Catchwords)

1. key-word for the type of the structure; the usage of different keys results e.g. in a different way of displaying the data in graphic programs
   1. INSEL: polygon will be closed to form a ring; for islands
   2. SAND: polygon will be closed to form a ring; for sandy islands
   3. DAMM: for groynes, dams, etc.
   4. GRUPPE: for a group of (linear) structures, which are separated by the key-word BUHNE
   5. MUELL: for disposal sites
   6. FEUER: for lines
   7. EINZEL: position and text for a single point-structure including marker symbols
   8. EGRUPPE: position and text for multiple point-structures including marker symbols
   9. FILE-KOP: name of a KOP-file
   10. TEXT: simple text at a fixed position
   11. GTEXT: a group of simple texts at different fixed positions
   12. ENDE DATEI: end of file
2. coordinates (x,y,z) of the nodes of the structure
3. name of structure
4. (optional, but necessary for conversions into the NetCDF-CF format) EPSG-Code of the coordinate system (see EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry)

For any dirty details of realisation look into the example-files.
