FAQ
SXF to HPG Conversion
What are SXF files?
SXF (Storage and eXchange Format) is a Russian format for digital vector maps, used by the GIS Panorama and many Russian map and survey systems to store topographic maps and plans and to pass them between programs. A map in this format is a set of objects, such as roads, rivers, buildings, borders, and contour lines, and each object has its shape, given by coordinates, and its meaning, given by attributes. The meaning of the object codes, such as which code stands for a river or a bridge, and the symbols used to draw them are not in the file itself but in a separate classifier file with the .rsc extension. SXF exists in a binary form and in a text form, and the text form is meant for easy exchange between different kinds of computers.
What are HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
