Question

A Rasta Layer from a MapInfo file


Working in a company with a variety of software packages, I have been tasked with making an unusual MapInfo layer available as read only in QGIS. The difficulty is that a lot of the data on the MapInfo layer has been added as text direct to the map, with a variety of font colours, rather than being held in the attributes table and applied as labels.

Is there a way to convert the MapInfo layer into rasta layer to view in QGIS, almost as a photo of how it would appear in MapInfo?

Thank you

You could try either the ImageRasterizer or MapnikRasterizer to create a raster of your vector features. Since MapInfo has styling information in the file itself FME should do a pretty good job of recreating what it looks in MapInfo.

Thank you for your help, much appreciated.
