| DIVA-GIS Export Format | N/A | GIS Files |
The DIX file extension is used by .DIX files, which are data files exported from DIVA-GIS. DIVA-GIS is a program used to analyze and map various geographic and ecological data. DIX files contain geographic information such as longitude and latitude points, and can be exported as comma-delimited text files or created as shapefiles. Additionally, DIX files hold information about the elevation of an area, the curvature of the earth, land cover, vegetation, and other ecologically significant features.
Features & Functionality
DIX files are primarily used to produce maps for analysis with DIVA-GIS. It can also be used to compare geographical data in different locations or at different points in time. Additionally, users can manipulate the data stored in a DIX file with other software, such as with ArcGIS, a geographic information system editor from Esri. DIX files are similar in purpose to other geo-referenced file types such as .e00, .gml, and .grd.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DIX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DIX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DIX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DIX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DIX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DIX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DIX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DIX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DIX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DIX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
