FAQ
HF2 to WMF Conversion
What are HF2 files?
HF2 is a compact format for terrain height maps, which are rectangular grids where every cell holds an elevation. It was designed to replace uncompressed terrain formats such as HFF, TER, and BT, which take up a lot of disk space. Its distinctive feature is that the person saving the file chooses the vertical precision: a landscape for a game or visualization may be saved with coarse steps and a very small file, while surveying work can keep millimeters. The file may also be compressed with gzip, and in this form it is saved with the .hfz or .hf2.gz extension. The format is used in terrain generation and visualization software, where large landscapes have to be stored and exchanged efficiently.
What are WMF files?
The WMF (Windows Metafile) format represents an image file with vector graphics, bitmap components or raster graphics, consisting mainly of drawing operations and commands. It was developed and released in the late 1980s by Microsoft and it included a 16-bit structure. In time WMF files were replaced by EMFs, featuring a 32-bit structure. WMFs are currently compatible with some programs from the Microsoft Office pack, such as Word, Power Point or Publisher.
