FAQ
HDF to SVGZ Conversion
What are HDF files?
HDF is the most common extension of files in the Hierarchical Data Format, Release 4, a container for scientific data developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and now supported by The HDF Group. It is best known from satellite remote sensing: NASA's Earth Observing System adopted it in 1993, and instruments aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites, such as MODIS and ASTER, delivered their products in this form. One file may hold many layers, for example several spectral channels, a quality mask, and the coordinates of every pixel, along with notes that explain them. The same extension is used for the HDF-EOS variant, which adds conventions for geographic location. The newer HDF5 is a different format and is normally saved with other extensions.
What are SVGZ files?
SVGZ is an extension attached to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images with GZIP compression. Such files can contain animations or interactive graphics, including vector objects, images and text, while supporting layer rendering, transparency, filter effects and several other features. As a version of SVG, the SVGZ format is based on an open standard and uses the XML markup language, being supported by most web browsers. The main advantage of SVGZ over its uncompressed variant is size, which can be 20 to 50 percent smaller.
