FAQ
GAL to XPM 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 XPM files?
The XPM (X PixMap) format serves primarily at creating icon or cursor pixmaps in the X Windows System. It was created in 1989 using the XBM syntax which is shaped in the C programming language. XPMs store black-and-white, gray-scale or color images and can be easily edited with any text editor.
