RockWorks Grid File Format

RockWorks stores grid models in a combination text (XML) and binary file format, with an ".RwGrd" file name extension. Note that all real number coordinates are listed in the files using a US number format.

Here is an example of the contents of an RwGrd file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RWGRD VERSION="16.0">

     <X_MIN>481875.0</X_MIN>
