FAQ
GXF to JP2 Conversion
What are GXF files?
GXF (Grid eXchange File) is an open text format for exchanging gridded data between different programs. It was developed by Geosoft, a Canadian company that makes software for geophysics, and it became the standard way of passing gravity and magnetic survey maps between systems. Such a map is a net of equal cells, and each cell holds a measured value, for example the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. A GXF file stores these values as plain text, together with the information needed to place the grid on the ground, such as the spacing between points and the map projection. Because the file can be opened in any text editor and does not depend on the software that made it, it is also used to share elevation data and other kinds of surfaces.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
