FAQ
FGB to WMF 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 WMF files?
The WMF (Windows Metafile) format represents an image file with vector graphics, bitmap components or raster graphics, consisting mainly of drawing operations and commands. It was developed and released in the late 1980s by Microsoft and it included a 16-bit structure. In time WMF files were replaced by EMFs, featuring a 32-bit structure. WMFs are currently compatible with some programs from the Microsoft Office pack, such as Word, Power Point or Publisher.
