FAQ
EI to SHP Conversion
What are EI files?
An EI file represents an image created or edited using the EIAS (Electronic Image Animation System) package, developed by EIAS3D and consisting of several 3D computer graphics tools. Some of the latter include an animation and a rendering program (Animator and Camera). The EIAS software is only designed to work on Mac OS X and Windows platforms, so for use on others or for easier handling you can convert EI files to more popular extensions.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
