The DCX file extension, standing for ZSoft Multi-page Paintbrush Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation. It is primarily used for creating multi-page digital fax files, containing a sequence of PCX images. Each DCX file begins with a small header identifying the file, followed by multiple embedded PCX files. This format was widely adopted in early digital faxing and document imaging applications due to its ability to handle multiple pages within a single file.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
