FAQ
PNM to MIF Conversion
What are PNM files?
PNM (Portable Anymap) is a generic format for the Netpbm pack, consisting of intermediary files used in the conversion process by a collection of open source programs called Portable Bitmap Utilities. PNM is used as a generic name for the 3 file formats which are part of this pack: PBM (Portable Bitmap), PPM (Portable Pixelmap) and PGM (Portable Graymap).
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.
