KB10423 - What file endings are used in TatukGIS products for World Files, which contain image registration (coordinate system georeferencing) information about an associated image?
TatukGIS products follow generally accepted rules for World File endings. The World File naming convention is First + Last Letter of extension + 'W':
*.BMP -> BPW
*.TIF -> TFW
*.JPG ->JGW
*.PNG -> PGW
But TatukGIS products also read and write JPEG related registration information to World Files with the *.JFW ending. This is because some GIS software products on the market use that file ending, so we offer the file with both endings for the highest possible compatibility with other GIS products.
TatukGIS products also read and write the registration information to a TAB registration file, for compatibility with GIS software products that understand georegistration information only in the TAB file format (and not as a World File ).
