Technical note

What changes when you convert MPL to AI

MPL is made of pixels and AI stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into paths. Once traced, the artwork scales to any size without softening, which is the point of the exercise. It is a reconstruction rather than the original drawing: curves are fitted to the pixel edges, so the cleaner and sharper the source, the closer the paths follow what the designer intended. A line in an MPL image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the MPL does not survive as colour in the AI.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see MPL data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to AI for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to AI with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

MPL to AI Conversion

What are MPL files?

MPL is the map list file of ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information System), an open-source GIS and remote sensing program developed at the ITC in the Netherlands. A map list is a way to group several raster maps that belong together, such as the spectral bands of a satellite image or a series of maps from different dates. Instead of holding the pictures themselves, the file records the names of the raster maps in the list and the georeference they share, which ties them to places on the ground. Grouping the maps makes it possible to process all of them at once, for example in classification or time-series analysis. The raster maps themselves are saved in separate files with the .mpr extension.

What are AI files?

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is a proprietary format used by Adobe Illustrator to create vector-based drawings. Though highly popular among graphic designer due to its ability to offer the possibility of creating and editing vector-based drawings. AI files can prove to be incompatible with most image viewers. For this reason, designers usually prefer to convert them to a more accessible format after finalizing the drawing.
