FAQ
ARROW to GBR Conversion
What are ARROW files?
ARROW is the file extension of the Apache Arrow IPC file format, also known as Feather, a fast, language-independent format for tables of data. When a table includes a column of geometries, such as points, lines, or polygons, it follows the GeoArrow specification, which describes how the shapes and their coordinate system are stored. The data are arranged in columns instead of rows, so a program can read just the columns it needs and process them extremely quickly, and the same layout can be shared between programs without converting it. A GeoArrow file is always a valid Arrow file, and it can hold ordinary attribute columns, such as names, numbers, and dates, next to the geometry. The format is used for fast exchange of large collections of geographic features.
What are GBR files?
GBR is part of the Gerber group of formats — a set of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber files include 2-D representations of various PCB images, such as copper layers, solder mask etc. They can also describe the electrical connections on such boards, or drilling and milling info associated with them. Similar formats include GBS, CMP and SOL.
