FAQ
RGB to SHP Conversion
What are RGB files?
The RGB extension is associated with colour or black-and-white bitmap images released under the SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) format. Similar extensions include RGBA and BW. All were initially designed in the mid-1990s for use on Silicon Graphics workstations and are currently considered rare and obsolete.
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.
