Support Information: 

Raster files can be stored in various file types including TIFF, JPG and bespoke formats. Loading these files will differ with individual software packages.

Spatial information can be displayed using the rater format. A raster is formed from a grid of cells with each cell holding a value. These cells can then be styled to produce an image or a map depicting the values of a given dataset.
