FAQ
LAN to WMF Conversion
What are LAN files?
LAN is a multiband raster image format of ERDAS, used by the 7.x generation of the ERDAS image processing software, which was later replaced by ERDAS IMAGINE and its .img format. It became widely known as the format for Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite scenes, in which the same area is recorded in several spectral bands, such as visible light and infrared. A file of this type contains all the bands of a scene together, preceded by a short header with the image size and other basic information. The format was widely used in remote sensing, forestry, and land-use mapping, and many programs can still read it today. Its sibling, the .gis format, holds a single band of classified data, such as a land cover map.
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.
