File Formats: PCX Formats (PCX and DCX)

LEADTOOLS reads and writes the following PCX formats:

PCX. This is a file format created by ZSoft. This format compresses its image data with the RLE type compression.

DCX. This is a multipage PCX format that enables a file to contain more than one image. It is handled the same as a regular PCX file, except for the multipage feature.

For PCX and DCX files, you can read and write the following bits per pixel: 1, 4, 8, 24.

LEAD supports loading and saving multi-page files in this format.
