World files are listed as “TFW” for “TIF” images, “JGW” for “JPG” images, “SDW” for “SID” images, and so forth. The world file is designed the same in each case, and AEJEE can use these world files. AEJEE cannot create the world files for images. ArcGIS or ArcView 9.x or other suitable professional level ESRI GIS software is required to make these files. Lesson 6 in the official set of lessons bundled as a pdf document with the AEJEE software download includes a section on “Geo-registering images with ArcView 9”. [ArcExplorer™—Java™ Edition for Education Lessons pdf for AEJEE Version 2, www.esri.com/aejee ] See Wikipedia for more information on World File or http://wordsonline.
