FAQ
PIG to SHP Conversion
What are PIG files?
PIG is an obsolete format associated with Ricoh's Pixel Image Generator (IS30). Ricoh is a Japanese manufacturer of printers, cameras, photocopiers, fax machines and other types of electronics equipment, and the PIG extension is attached to images created by software included in such devices. PIG images are rare and opening them using regular image viewers might be difficult.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
