MapInfo Tab File MapInfo uses a tab file (.TAB) to georeference a raster image. It contains control points to map pixel coordinates in a raster image to world or map coordinates. To work in Autodesk MapGuide Author, you need to specify the control points so that linear scaling is possible. The raster image formats supported by the MapInfo tab file are: GIF, TGA, CALS, PNG, BMP, JPEG, and TIFF. Following is an example of a tab file.

A single file contains both the raster image and its georeference information. Refer to the GeoTIFF format specification for more information. Header File A header file is an ASCII text file containing keywords and values for specifying the georeference information of the raster image. This format works only with the GeoSPOT BIL raster image format. Following is an example of a header file. 102 | Chapter 5 Working with Data in Autodesk MapGuide
