FAQ
TOC to PIC Conversion
What are TOC files?
TOC is the table of contents file of the Raster Product Format (RPF), a military standard for digital maps and images defined in MIL-STD-2411 and developed in the United States in the 1990s. A collection of digitized charts or satellite images in this format is split into many square frame files, and the file named A.TOC acts as the index that tells where each frame lies on the Earth, which file holds it, and to which product it belongs. The best known products in the format are CADRG, a compressed form of scanned paper charts such as aeronautical and navigation maps, and CIB, a base of satellite images. Software that reads such data opens the A.TOC file and sees the whole collection as one seamless map.
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
