FAQ
THF to PPM 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 PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
