Technical note

What changes when you convert GRIB2 to HPG

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. HPG expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the GRIB2 going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as HPG opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from GRIB2 in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to HPG with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

GRIB2 to HPG Conversion

What are GRIB2 files?

GRIB2 is the second edition of the GRIB standard of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), introduced in the early 2000s to replace the first edition. It stores weather, ocean, and climate data on a grid, and it is now the main format used by national weather services for publishing model forecasts, radar-based products, and wave and sea condition data. Compared with the first edition, it describes the data more precisely, supports many more kinds of products, and allows larger messages, so that a modern global forecast can be stored without loss of detail. A single file may contain many fields, such as pressure, wind, and precipitation, for different times and heights. The format is also found with the .grb2 and .grb extensions.

What are HPG files?

HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
