The information listed here goes in more depth about SHAPE.TXT than that listed in SHAPEFILES.

SHAPE.TXT a model that is an output from the exectutable ...

SHAPE.TXT is the shape model SPC uses where the first line is the Q size (between 8 and 512 in factor of 2 increments: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512). The shape is in the ICQ format, which is basically a 6 sided cube.

First line is Q (resolution). This gives the number of nodes for i and j. Multiple it by 6 coordinate vector spaces to fill out the entire region. Note: Q*Q*6 is the total number of nodes, and line entries in this file. A Q of 512 is the largest that we represent. It contains 1.5 million vertices and 56 MB uncompressed.

Second line and following: The location of a vertex in i, j, k space (Cartesian coordinates).
