FAQ
N1 to HPG Conversion
What are N1 files?
N1 is the file extension of products from Envisat, a large Earth observation satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA). The letters in the name stand for the satellite itself: N1 for Envisat-1, while products from the older ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites in the same family use E1 and E2. A file of this type contains the measurements of one instrument for one pass over the Earth, for example a radar image from ASAR, a color image of the ocean and land from the MERIS spectrometer, or sea surface temperature from AATSR. It also contains a description of the product and its quality. Many such files still lie in scientific archives, and they are used for research on oceans, ice, vegetation, and the atmosphere.
What are HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
