Introduction

The LEADTOOLS MRC API provides dynamic link library (DLL) functions to let you incorporate the ability to work with MRC (Mixed Raster Content) files in your applications. The Mixed Raster Content format was defined for use for color and grayscale fax as part of the RFC-2301, File Format for Internet Fax. The Mixed Raster Content mode (T.44) enables different coding methods and resolutions to be used within a single page by defining a 3-layer image model for structuring and combining the scanned image data. The image is segmented and each segment assigned a type based on the number of colors used in that segment. Segments can be combined and compressed using different compression schemes to create a file that balances quality with compression.

This help file contains only the documentation for the functions in the LEADTOOLS MRC API.

The toolkit comes in WIN32 editions so that it can support development of software applications for any of the following environments:

Windows 3.x NT
Windows 4.x NT
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows 2000
