Do you mean HeightField?  Or just how to assign an ElevationLayer to a
Terrain.  The ElevationLayer can be either of a HeightFieldLayer or an
ImageLayer.  An ImageLayer can tack any image object so any of jpg,
png etc.

For height fields you have a move limited set of formats that directly
support readHeightField, the principle one being the GDAL plugin now
restored to the SVN version of the OSG - this you'll use DEMs.
