FAQ
VFK to PGM 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 PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
