- Description
- A PGM file is a grayscale image file saved in the portable gray map (PGM) format and encoded with one or two bytes (8 or 16 bits) per pixel. It contains header information and a grid of numbers that represent different shades of gray from black (0) to white (up to 65,536). PGM files are typically stored in ASCII text format, but also have a binary representation.
- DCX file is a multi-page image file developed by raster file or bitmap file formats. It is generated fro PCX files, so it has a small header that shows the .dcx then a sequence of .pcx data. Popularly used by applications to create and send multi-page fax files.
