FAQ
GRC to PCX Conversion
What are GRC files?
GRC is the classified grid format of Vertical Mapper, a spatial analysis add-on originally created by Northwood Geoscience in Canada and later acquired by MapInfo. A file of this type is a map made of equal cells, and each cell carries a category rather than a measurement, for example a land use class, a soil type, or a signal strength range. The category names and colors are stored with the map, so it can be displayed immediately. Its numeric counterpart, the .grd file, stores smoothly varying values such as elevation. The GRC format is widely used for mobile network planning, where coverage predictions around cell towers are saved as classified grids, and it is also used in mapping, environmental analysis, and land management.
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.
