Technical note

FGB to JXL: what carries over and what does not

An FGB file holds geometry and an attribute table, and nothing at all about appearance. Colours, line weights, fills and labels are properties of the GIS project rather than of the file, which is why the same FGB looks different in every program that opens it. The JXL render therefore falls back on defaults and will not match the styled map you see in QGIS or ArcGIS. Expect a clean drawing of the geometry rather than a finished cartographic product. FGB coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. JXL is a picture: the coordinates become pixel positions and the attribute table is dropped entirely. That is fine for illustration and no use as data, so keep the FGB original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see FGB data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to JXL for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to JXL with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

FGB to JXL 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 JXL files?
