FAQ
PARQUET to CGM Conversion
What are PARQUET files?
PARQUET in this context is GeoParquet, a way of storing geographic data, such as points, lines, and polygons with their attributes, in Apache Parquet files. Parquet is an open format for large tables that keeps the values of each column together and compresses them, which makes files small and lets a program read only the columns and the parts of the table that it needs. GeoParquet adds to it the information that makes the table geographic: which column holds the shapes, how they are encoded, and in which coordinate system they are given. The format is popular for analysis of very large data sets in the cloud, such as all buildings of a country, and it has been developed within the Open Geospatial Consortium. Plain Parquet files without geographic information use the same extension.
What are CGM files?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a format that contains vector graphics information (clip art, drawings) associated with graphics design or CAD programs. As opposed to other types of metafiles, such as EMF or WMF, CGM files are not only supported by Windows, but can be used on different platforms too. They are encoded using binary, character-based of clear-text encoding.
