FAQ
FGB to PNG 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 PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
