FAQ
GTL to PPM Conversion
What are GTL files?
The GTL extension is part of the Gerber group of formats, used as a standard in the fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCB). Gerber files contain 2D vector images that describe different data connected to PCB production, such as copper layers, solder masks, drilling or milling info. GTL files are created using Protel, a popular software for PCB layout design, and they describe the top copper layer.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
