FAQ
VCT to SVGZ Conversion
What are VCT files?
VCT is the vector file of IDRISI, a GIS and remote sensing system developed by Clark Labs and later renamed TerrSet. A file of this type holds the shapes of one map layer: points, lines, polygons, or text labels, each with the coordinates of its vertices and a single number that identifies it or gives its value. The descriptive attributes of the objects, such as names or classes, are not inside the file but in separate attribute tables linked by that number. Every VCT file is accompanied by a small documentation file with the .vdc extension, which describes the data, and often by a reference file with the coordinate system. Only one kind of shape is allowed in a file, so a map with roads and buildings needs at least two of them.
What are SVGZ files?
SVGZ is an extension attached to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images with GZIP compression. Such files can contain animations or interactive graphics, including vector objects, images and text, while supporting layer rendering, transparency, filter effects and several other features. As a version of SVG, the SVGZ format is based on an open standard and uses the XML markup language, being supported by most web browsers. The main advantage of SVGZ over its uncompressed variant is size, which can be 20 to 50 percent smaller.
