Technical note

What changes when you convert GXF to PCX

Every cell in a GXF file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. PCX stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the PCX returns a shade, not an altitude. Missing cells in an elevation grid, such as water, radar shadow or the edge of a survey, are not empty: they hold a sentinel value, -32768 in SRTM, -32767 in DTED and very often -9999 in ESRI grids. Counted as a real height, that value stretches the scale so far that the actual terrain collapses into a few near-identical shades. When a PCX output looks flat and washed out, a void treated as data is the usual cause.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as PCX opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from GXF in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to PCX with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

GXF to PCX 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 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.
