FAQ
GRI to PNG 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 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.
