FAQ
ITF to PGM 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 PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
