Raster to XYZ

Converts an Arc ASCII Raster to a vector point file.

This script simple reads in an ASCII raster file (in Arc ASCII Format) and then outputs a CSV file in XYZ format with a point (row) for each grid cell.

This is handy for converting gridded DEMs to raw point data.

It is slow because most of the IO part of the code can not be vectorized, but it does the trick.
