FAQ
VCT to DCX Conversion
What are VCT files?
VCT is the vector file of IDRISI, a GIS and remote sensing system developed by Clark Labs and later renamed TerrSet. A file of this type holds the shapes of one map layer: points, lines, polygons, or text labels, each with the coordinates of its vertices and a single number that identifies it or gives its value. The descriptive attributes of the objects, such as names or classes, are not inside the file but in separate attribute tables linked by that number. Every VCT file is accompanied by a small documentation file with the .vdc extension, which describes the data, and often by a reference file with the coordinate system. Only one kind of shape is allowed in a file, so a map with roads and buildings needs at least two of them.
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.
