FAQ
FGB to PIC 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 PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
