Feature type is identified by a P, L or A prefix representing point, line and area features respectively. Point data are stored in x y [z] Attrib order, one point per line. z values are optional. Line and Area data have an initial line containing the number of coordinates and an optional feature attribute. Coordinates follow in x y [z] order where the z value is optional. All coordinates and attributes can be in either integer or floating point formats. |
Default file extension: .jpg or .gif
Example | Description |
GIF or JPEG file. | Binary image file in either (24 bit) JPEG or (8 bit) GIF format. Since these formats do not store geographical limits, they can only be loaded once some geographical area has been defined. The images are then stretched to fit the required area. Exported images are given the dimensions of LandSerf's graphical display at the point at which the image is saved. |

Text file for storing point, line, and area vector data. If geometry
and optional attributes are stored in separate files. The geometry
file contains header information in the first 14 lines. Of most importance
are the bounds of the vector, the remaining header items are either
ignored by LandSerf or stored as 'notes'.
Feature type is identified by a P, L or A prefix representing point, line and area features respectively. Each new feature contains the type and number of coordinates to follow. Coordinate data are stored in y x order, one pair per line. Attributes are stored in a separate file and are linked to geometry by containing a coordinate pair in common followed by the attribute (one per line). All coordinates and attributes can be in either integer or floating point formats. |
