====== World Files ====== World files are plain text files used along side a normal image file. The world file tells a GIS program how to render the image. The filename is the same as the main image, with a different extension: ^actual image file^world file extension^ |jpg|jgw| |tif|tfw| The contents of a world file consist of six lines, as shown in the following example: ^line #^example value^description^ ^1|0.17578125|x-scale value| ^2|0|y rotation/skew| ^3|0|x rotation/skew| ^4|-0.17578125|y-scale value * I think this always needs to be negative| ^5|-180|top-left x coordinate| ^6|90|top-left y coordinate| * Note that the coordinates need to be in the units of the actual projection of the image
