FAQ
PNT to DDS 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 DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
