FAQ
LCP to PCT Conversion
What are LCP files?
LCP (FARSITE Landscape File) is a multi-layer map file used by programs that simulate how wildland fires spread, such as FARSITE and FlamMap, which were developed for the U.S. Forest Service and other land agencies. To model a fire, the software needs to know what the land is like, and an LCP file puts that information together in one grid: the height of the ground, the steepness and direction of the slopes, the type of vegetation fuel, and how thickly trees cover the ground. Additional layers can describe the tree canopy and the litter on the ground. The format is widely used in fire management planning, and the national LANDFIRE program distributed its landscape data in this form for many years.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
