FAQ
ARROWS to TIF Conversion
What are ARROWS files?
ARROWS is the file extension of the streaming variant of the Apache Arrow IPC format, which is the form of Arrow data meant to be sent from one program to another rather than stored as a finished table. A stream carries a sequence of record batches, which are pieces of a table, one after another, and a receiving program can start working on the first piece before the last one has arrived. When some columns hold geometries, the stream follows the GeoArrow specification, so that points, lines, and polygons and their coordinate system travel together with their attributes. Streams of this type are used to move large amounts of geographic features between tools or over a network, and they are sometimes saved to disk as .arrows files.
What are TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
