FAQ
GRI to FLIF 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 FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
