Technical note

NITF to HPG: what carries over and what does not

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. HPG expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. A line in a NITF image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the NITF does not survive as colour in the HPG.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as HPG opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from NITF in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to HPG with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

NITF to HPG Conversion

What are NITF files?

NITF (National Imagery Transmission Format) is a file format developed in the United States for exchanging satellite and aerial imagery in a standard way, and it is also used by NATO under the name NSIF. A file of this type works as a package: it can hold one or several images together with vector graphics, labels, symbols, text, and a large amount of descriptive information about the source of the data, such as the sensor, the time, the accuracy, and the security classification. The format was created for secondary imagery from overhead collection platforms, and it became the common language of military and intelligence imagery, and of commercial satellite data. The current version is described in the Joint BIIF Profile. Files may use the .ntf or .nitf extension.

What are HPG files?

HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
