FAQ
THF to PLT Conversion
What are THF files?
THF is the main file of a package in EDIGEO, the French standard for exchanging digital geographic data, and it is best known from the French cadastral plan, the digital map of land parcels that the tax administration makes available for every commune. A single EDIGEO delivery is made of several files with the same base name, and the THF file is the one that stands at the top: it describes the transfer as a whole and tells which other files belong to it. By itself it holds no map, and the parcels, buildings, and boundaries are in the other files of the package. Such packages are published openly for the whole of France and are widely used to produce local maps and to import cadastral data into other systems.
What are PLT files?
PLT is a vector image format representing the HPGL standard language developed by Hewlett-Packard for printing line drawings. HPGL is supported by AutoCAD and other CAD software programs. PLT files represent plotter images that can be printed using a computer printer specialized in vector graphics (called "plotter"), which renders images as lines not as dots.
