FAQ
PNT to CAL Conversion
What are PNT files?
PNT is the file of point features in the vector format of MiraMon, a geographic information system and remote sensing program developed in Catalonia by Xavier Pons. A point layer stores separate places on a map, such as wells, villages, survey marks, or measurement stations, each as a pair of coordinates, with an optional third coordinate for height. The descriptive data of the points, such as names, codes, and measured values, are kept in a database table in the DBF format, and a text file with the .rel extension describes the layer, including its coordinate system. Unlike the line and area layers of MiraMon, a point layer needs no file of nodes, because points do not connect to each other.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
