FAQ
FGB to EMF Conversion
What are FGB files?
FGB is the extension of FlatGeobuf, a modern binary format for geographic vector data, created by Björn Harrtell and published as open source. A file holds a collection of features, which are points, lines, and polygons with their attributes such as names and codes, together with the coordinate system and the extent of the data. The format is built for speed: an optional spatial index, built in a smart way, lets a program pick out only the features in a chosen area without reading the whole file, and the same trick works over the internet, where just the needed bytes are downloaded. Files are written once and then read many times, which suits large collections of static data, and the format has no size limit of the kind that older formats like Shapefile have.
What are EMF files?
EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a format used by the Windows operating system to store spooling information connected to printing. The term "spooling" comes from the acronym for "simultaneous peripheral operations online" and represents the creation of a list of tasks scheduled for completion by Windows at a later time. EMF files can contain vector or bitmap components and they replaced the original WMF (Windows Metafile) format, using a 32-bit structure instead of a 16-bit one and thus providing better quality of printing.
