PCX file format

[dav#23]

I'm looking for a BMP to PCX converter or any other to get a PCX 2
colour file. Document about PCX 2-Colour file format is wellcome too.

I've the image in a arraybit (black and white points) and with that
I've to generate the PCX file, the header section is right but I've
not found info about the image encoding. Any help is wellcome. If in
the market exists a control that solves it is right too.

Thank you

If the question is image conversion, the answer is nearly always
ImageMagick. So too in this case. There's a binding for .NET as well.

Thank you but I'm looking for a monochrome PCX saving algorithm to
apply it in Compactframework.

I have not run across a PCX file in quite some time. I doubt that there are
any Compact Framework Dot.Net code examples of how to write a PCX file
anywhere, however there is quite a bit of (old) documentation about the file
format. Here is a link that includes some C code for reading and writing
that could be helpful. http://www.qzx.com/pc-gpe/pcx.txt There are
undoubtly others, Google is your friend.
