world file - [data storage] A text file containing information about where an image should be displayed in real-world coordinates. When an image has a properly configured world file, GIS software can use the information (a total of six values, including the starting coordinates, the cell size in both x- and y-dimensions, and any rotation and scaling information) to accurately overlay the image with any other data already in a projected or geographic coordinate system.
