FAQ
SXF to HRU 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 HRU files?
The HRU file format is a bitmap image format associated with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which is a model developed through the SWAT-CUP program in Microsoft Windows. This software generates a detailed simulation model aimed to assess the result of various land management techniques in the case of large-size watersheds. HRUs represent output files containing detailed information compiled through SWAT, generally under the form of extensive tables with a large number of variables.
