FAQ
GRI to CIT Conversion
What are GRI files?
GRI is the data file of the native raster format of the raster package for the R programming environment, which is widely used for statistics and spatial analysis. It holds the cell values of a map or a satellite image as a plain sequence of numbers, without compression, and it is always accompanied by a small text file with the same name and the .grd extension. The text file describes what the numbers mean: the size of the grid, the area it covers, the coordinate system, the type of values, and the names of the layers. Neither file can be used alone. The format is simple and flexible, so it is convenient for saving intermediate results, such as terrain models, climate layers, or land cover maps, when working in R.
What are CIT files?
A CIT file represents a black-and-white raster image created using an Intergraph Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I) piece of software. Until a few years ago, Intergraph was considered one of largest software developers in the world, and is part of Hexagon AB since 2010. The company provides IT services all over the world to governments and businesses, and apart from the SG&I division it also includes one called Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and another called Hexagon Geospatial.
