RAST to SHP Conversion: FAQ

What are RAST files?

RAST is a Sun Raster image format developed for Sun UNIX platforms. These types of operating systems were launched by Sun Microsystems for use on both workstations and server computer systems. As opposed to RAS, which is also a Sun Raster format, RAST images are less compatible with image viewers outside the Sun UNIX platforms. They support various types of image colour depths, from monochrome to 32-bit TrueColor and are mostly designed for UNIX users.

What are SHP files?

The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers.
