Tarsier: Raster data

As the name implies, a Tarsier Raster Data file (.tra) is Tarsier's gridded data format. It is made up of two parts: 1) an ASCII header file that specifies the structure of the grid and data properties, and 2) a series of data values stored in binary.

A typical Tarsier header looks like:

 Cols         25
 Rows         25
 XLLCorner     0
 YLLCorner     0
 CellWidth      1
 CellHeight      1
 NoDataValue  -9999.000000
 Projection  0
 Precision  float
 Format  binary
 *
