FAQ
B to JXR Conversion
What are B files?
.b is a specialized binary grid format developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to distribute coordinate transformation grids for GEOCON and NADCON 5.0 workflows. Designed originally by Dennis Milbert to standardize geoid and datum shift manipulations, a file of this type contains spatial coordinate corrections (latitude, longitude, or ellipsoidal height offsets) stored as continuous gridded records. The format features a unique structural characteristic rooted in its legacy FORTRAN generation: every data record is wrapped within leading and trailing 4-byte buffer artifacts that specify record length. A single .b file typically stores only one components of a three-dimensional transformation—such as latitude shifts—requiring complementary companion files with identical structures to fully execute a high-precision datum conversion across regions of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).
What are JXR files?
JXR or JPEG XR (JPEG Extended Range) is the extension used to define high resolution and high color depth images that provide better quality than regular JPEGs. The JXR format was initially developed as an HD Photo format for Windows' media viewers and editors and can support lossy or lossless compression. Its 48-bit RGB color range allows for accuracy in rendering images and better graphic representation. Additionally, JXRs can include an alpha channel which facilitates the editing of transparent layers.
