Questions & Answers
POL files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are POL files?
POL is a binary file in which each polygon is defined as a closed shape made of one or more arcs, and the arcs themselves live in a separate file. The file holds, for every polygon, a list of references to the arcs of the .arc file by their index, so a border between two neighboring areas is stored once and used by both. A polygon layer therefore needs several companion files: the .arc file with the coordinates of the arcs, the .nod file with the nodes where arcs meet, the P.dbf table and the P.rel description of the polygons, and the A.dbf, A.rel, N.dbf, and N.rel files of the arcs and nodes. The description file of the arcs records which arc file was used to build the polygons, and the polygons are created by a special operation that walks around the arcs to find closed rings, including rings that form holes inside other polygons. In MiraMon, a layer holds only one kind of geometry, and polygon layers are fully topological, which means that relations such as neighbors and holes are known without any calculation. Programs that read the format may turn the shapes into ordinary polygons or multipolygons and drop the topology, because the nodes carry information that other formats cannot hold. Supported by MiraMon.
