GML to DCX Conversion
What are GML files?
GML (Geography Markup Language) is an XML-based language for describing geographic features, developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and adopted as the international standard ISO 19136. A GML file is readable text in which every object on a map, such as a building, a road, a lake, or a boundary, is written down together with its shape and its attributes, for example a name, a type, or a population. The language is a toolbox rather than a fixed list of objects: communities and organizations define their own application schemas on top of it, which is how national mapping data, cadastral records, and the data of 3D city models are exchanged. GML is also the standard way for web map services to return features.
What are DCX files?
DCX files are multi-page images consisting of raster graphics, usually used to create fax files and functioning as a header that introduces a series of ensuing PCX files. DCX is a bitmap format and was initially developed together with the PCX format by Zsoft Corp. and was associated with PC Paintbrush. This graphics editing software was popular in the late 1980s on computers using the MS-DOS operating system, and later on it was adapted for Windows too.
