==General Information==
SCANG.DAT presumably stands for '''SCAN'''ner '''G'''raphics, because the images stored in it are used on the overhead map, which the game refers to as the Scanner (see also: UFOGRAPH/SCANBORD.PCK).

Each image is 4x4 pixels and represents a particular tile or map object. The game uses [[TERRAIN#MCD|MCD[20-21]]] as a reference for which image to use: '''MCD[20] + MCD[21] * 256 + 35''' (The +35 is due to the fact that the first 36 images (0-35) are for objects ''on'' the map).
