FAQ
MPL to MIF 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 MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
