FAQ
MPR to SHP Conversion
What are MPR files?
MPR is the raster map file of ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information System), a GIS and remote sensing program developed at the ITC in the Netherlands for land use, water management, and environmental studies. A raster map is a grid of square cells, and every cell carries a value, such as a height, a reflectance recorded by a satellite, a land use class, or a plot number. The .mpr file is the readable description of such a map, and it points to the file that holds the cells, to the georeference that places the grid on the ground, and to the domain that explains what the values mean. A map can have up to about two billion lines. Maps in this format can be created in ILWIS or imported from many other raster formats.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
