FAQ
ARC to BPG Conversion
What are ARC files?
ARC is the file of line features in the vector format of MiraMon, a geographic information system and remote sensing program developed in Catalonia by Xavier Pons. In this format, each line on a map, such as a road, a river, a contour line, or a boundary, is stored as an arc, which is a chain of points joined by straight segments. The coordinates are kept in the .arc file itself, while the attributes of the lines, such as names and codes, are kept in a database table in the DBF format, and a text file with the .rel extension describes the whole layer. An arc layer is always accompanied by a file of nodes, the points where arcs begin, end, or meet, and the polygons of MiraMon are built from these arcs.
What are BPG files?
BPG is a new and promising image format, which currently provides the most advanced technology in image compression. Released in 2014 by software developer Fabrice Bellard, the BPG format has been shown to include the best quality/size ratio, when compared to other popular formats such as JPG or PNG. The number of image viewers that can open BPG files is currently limited, but is expected to grow in the near future. For easier access, conversion can be done to and from the BPG format.
