This file has been authored in the style of the INTERxxy.* file list

by Ralf Brown, and uses almost the same format.

Please read the file FILEFMTS.1ST before asking me any questions. You may find
|
|
|
|
|
that they have already been addressed.

should check it carefully to make sure your program will not break with

Some file formats were not released by their creators, others are regarded

as proprietary, which means that if your programs deal with them, you might

be looking for trouble. I don't care about this.

PIC files contain images in an uncompressed format. Both the original Animator
|
|
|
|
|
and Animator Pro from Autodesk produce PIC files. The file formats are
|
|
|
|
|
different; Animator Pro produces a hierarchial block oriented file, while the
|
|
|
|
|
original Animator file is a simpler fixed format. See PIC(Pro) for further
|
|
|
|
|
information on the Animator Pro PIC format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The original Animator uses this format to store a single-frame picture image.
|
|
|
|
|
This format description applies to both PIC and original Animator CEL files. The
|
|
|
|
|
file begins with a 32 byte header, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OFFSET Count TYPE Description
|
|
|
|
|
0000h 1 word ID=9119h
|
|
|
|
|
0002h 1 word Width of image; PIC files have always a width
|
|
|
|
|
of 320, CEL images may have any value.
|
|
|
|
|
0004h 1 word Height of image, 200 for a PIC, any value for
|
|
|
|
|
a CEL file.
|
|
|
|
|
0006h 1 word X offset of image, always 0 for a PIC image,
|
|
|
|
|
may be nonzero in a CEL image.
|
|
|
|
|
0008h 1 word Y offset of image. Zero for a PIC file.
|
|
|
|
|
000Ah 1 byte Bits per pixel (8)
|
|
|
|
|
000Bh 1 byte Compresion flag, always zero
|
|
|
|
|
000Ch 1 dword Size of the image data in bytes
|
|
|
|
|
0010h 16 byte reserved(0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immediately following the header is the color map. It contains all 256 palette
|
|
|
|
|
entries in rgb order. Each of the r, g, and b components is a single byte in the
|
|
|
|
|
range of 0-63. Following the color palette is the image data, one byte per
|
|
|
|
|
pixel, from left to right, top to bottom.
