FAQ
GXF to DCX Conversion
What are GXF files?
GXF (Grid eXchange File) is an open text format for exchanging gridded data between different programs. It was developed by Geosoft, a Canadian company that makes software for geophysics, and it became the standard way of passing gravity and magnetic survey maps between systems. Such a map is a net of equal cells, and each cell holds a measured value, for example the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. A GXF file stores these values as plain text, together with the information needed to place the grid on the ground, such as the spacing between points and the map projection. Because the file can be opened in any text editor and does not depend on the software that made it, it is also used to share elevation data and other kinds of surfaces.
What are DCX files?
DCX files are multi-page images consisting of raster graphics, usually used to create fax files and functioning as a header that introduces a series of ensuing PCX files. DCX is a bitmap format and was initially developed together with the PCX format by Zsoft Corp. and was associated with PC Paintbrush. This graphics editing software was popular in the late 1980s on computers using the MS-DOS operating system, and later on it was adapted for Windows too.
