FAQ
RIK to WPG Conversion
What are RIK files?
RIK is a raster map format used for digital maps issued by Lantmäteriet, the Swedish national mapping, cadastral, and land registration authority. A file of this type holds a map as a picture, in which each point is one of up to 256 colors, together with the information needed to place it on the ground in the Swedish national grid. The format exists in three versions, and files of all of them are found in collections of Swedish topographic and general maps, which were distributed on discs and used in navigation programs, hiking and orienteering software, and ordinary mapping systems. Because it is a specialized national format, ordinary image viewers cannot open it, and conversion is the practical way to use such maps elsewhere.
What are WPG files?
WPG (WordPerfect Graphic File) is a metafile created using WordPerfect, a text processor that can be used on MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh and UNIX platforms. WPG files can contain vector graphics or raster images, as well as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) data. They can be used for storing clipart and are supported by various advanced graphics design programs, including Corel Draw and Adobe Photoshop.
