Alexandre, So, You are looking for some well know and very used data format that is used for Triangular Irregular Network. Something that could be called a standard, or almost...
I think that you can have TIN is some general-purpose vector format like Shape (.SHP) and you can use OGR (ww.gdal.org) to play with that. I guess. Look at this document: http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-520Fall-2005/9C4D8224-D0F5-4430-B8AB-6883FAE9402D/0/lect_4.pdf Have fun, Ivan Lucena -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexandre Leroux Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 12:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] TIN formats? Hi Landon, Stupid me. Sent the wrong link... here's the right one :-! http://technology.slashgeo.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/25/1931255 There's already some replies. Looks like there's no such thing as a standard format so far. Would be great to integrate one in GDAL/OGR eventually...
