FAQ
FGB to HPG 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 HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
