FAQ
POL to BPG Conversion
What are POL files?
POL is the file of polygon features in the vector format of MiraMon, a geographic information system and remote sensing program developed in Catalonia by Xavier Pons. A polygon layer stores areas on a map, such as parcels, lakes, administrative districts, or land cover patches, with the descriptive data of each area, such as its name, code, or class, kept in a database table. What is special about MiraMon polygons is that they do not store their own outlines: each polygon is built from arcs that are kept in a separate .arc file, and neighboring polygons share the arcs along their common border. This guarantees that there are no gaps or overlaps between areas, and it allows analysis of which areas touch each other.
What are BPG files?
BPG is a new and promising image format, which currently provides the most advanced technology in image compression. Released in 2014 by software developer Fabrice Bellard, the BPG format has been shown to include the best quality/size ratio, when compared to other popular formats such as JPG or PNG. The number of image viewers that can open BPG files is currently limited, but is expected to grow in the near future. For easier access, conversion can be done to and from the BPG format.
