FAQ
GAL to PCX Conversion
What are GAL files?
GAL is a graphics file of HP Graphics Gallery, also known as HP Charting Gallery, business graphics software released by Hewlett-Packard for DOS PCs in 1989. It was used to prepare presentation charts, diagrams, and drawings in color for reports, slides, and overhead transparencies, and it came with a collection of ready-made business graphics. A file of this type contains a two- or three-dimensional graphic created by the user, such as a pie, bar, or line chart, or a drawing built from lines, shapes, and text. Because the program has been out of use for a long time, regular image viewers do not open these files.
The extension is also used by two other, unrelated formats: GenePix array lists, which are text files of microarray layouts for scientific scanners, and clip-art libraries of Corel Multimedia Manager.
What are PCX files?
The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
