FAQ
VFK to DDS Conversion
What are VFK files?
VFK is the exchange format of the Czech real estate cadastre, the official register of land parcels, buildings, and ownership rights in the Czech Republic. A file of this type is a text file with the cadastral data of one cadastral area, published by the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre. It lists the parcels and buildings together with their boundaries, the points that define them, the types of land use, and the legal relations such as rights of ownership and easements. Surveyors, municipalities, and software companies use it to receive cadastral data and to load them into their own systems. Since the introduction of the data protection rules in 2018, personal information about owners has been removed from the files that are issued.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
