File

The File node loads any supported image or data file as a terrain. It supports all major file formats, and you can load either a grayscale image as a heightfield, or a RGB color image as a color map.

A note about scale

In most cases, you can use the Raw Scale setting. This will interpret the data within a normal 8, 16, or 32 bit data range. If your uses excessive scale values that go below zero, you may need to use the Normalized or Mapped mode. If you wish to handle scale manually, you should turn on Clamp in @postprocess to ensure data does not go beyond anticipated ranges which may cause other nodes to break.

The Mapped mode is mainly used for communicating with other applications in automation scenarios where the incoming and outgoing data must retain a specific number range.
