This document provides instructions for converting a raster file to point data in QGIS. The steps are to open the raster data, use the Raster tools to translate the format to ASCII gridded XYZ, modify the resulting *.xyz file to add x, y, z to the first row, use the Delimited Text Layer plugin to import the *.xyz file as points, and save the point layer as a shapefile if it needs to be kept.
