FAQ
RSW to PS Conversion
What are RSW files?
RSW is the image version of the Raster Matrix Format, which is used by the GIS programs Panorama and Integration. While the sibling .mtw file stores elevation grids, an RSW file holds ordinary pictures, such as scanned paper maps, aerial photographs, and satellite images that serve as backgrounds for vector maps. The picture can be either a color-indexed image, in which every pixel points to a color in a table, or a full-color image. The file also stores simple georeferencing, which lets the program place the picture at the right spot on a map. Because the format was made for use inside these systems, it is little known elsewhere, and it is listed in file format registries mostly as a part of the Raster Matrix Format family.
What are PS files?
The PS (Postscript) file format is used for vector graphics and was first introduced in the 1980s. Its main advantages are an increased quality of printing when using printers which support the Postscript computer language, and a better rendering of fonts. The PS formats was developed by Adobe and is compatible with several programs running under the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
