FAQ
ITF to GIF Conversion
What are ITF files?
ITF is a text file with geographic data in the INTERLIS 1 transfer format, a Swiss standard for passing data between land information systems. It is the delivery that goes together with a model file with the .ili extension: the model says what kinds of objects exist and what their attributes mean, and the ITF file holds the objects themselves, such as parcels, buildings, boundary lines, and survey points, with their coordinates and attributes. The format was created by the Swiss Federal Directorate for Cadastral Surveying in the 1990s and is still used for official surveying data in Switzerland. Because the data and the model are kept apart, one model can be used for many deliveries, and new deliveries are checked against it.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
