Portable Graymap Heightfield
Use
You can import and view Portable Graymap Heightfield (.pgm) 16-bit files. You can specify scale factors for each axis when importing these files.
The .pgm file format is very basic, and serves as the lowest common denominator for converting and exchanging graphics files between different platforms. Portable Graymap Heightfield is a simple 16-bit grayscale image file and may be stored in either binary or ASCII format. It is related to the PBM (black and white) and PPM (pixelmap) graphics file formats.
While this is actually a 2D image format, SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author considers it a 3D scene; when a file of this nature is opened, a 3D plane is constructed and the application then uses the image as a height-map to distort the plane.
Features
This format contains import options. You can use them to customize the way in which your file is opened.
