FAQ
RSS to PGM Conversion
What are RSS files?
RSS with location data is GeoRSS, a way of adding a place on the map to the items of a web feed. An ordinary RSS or Atom feed delivers a list of news items, blog posts, events, or alerts, and GeoRSS lets each item say where it happened or where it belongs, as a point, a line, or an area. Software can then show the feed on a map, for example earthquakes as they are reported, local news, or photos taken at specific places, and the map updates as the feed does. GeoRSS was developed by a community of web and mapping specialists and became a standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The same .rss extension is used by plain feeds without any location.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
