FAQ
CXF to PGM Conversion
What are CXF files?
CXF (Cadastral eXchange Format) is the vector format in which the Italian Revenue Agency, the Agenzia delle Entrate, issues the digital maps of the Italian land cadastre. A file of this type contains the map of one cadastral sheet with the outlines of land parcels and buildings, their numbers, roads, rivers, administrative boundaries, and labels, drawn as lines, points, and text instead of a picture. Professionals such as surveyors, engineers, and architects download these files from the agency and use them in CAD and GIS programs to prepare property boundary surveys, building permits, and planning projects. The agency also issues the same maps in DXF, in the XML-based CML format, and in some cases in GeoJSON, and the CXF form is considered the most detailed of them.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
