Introduction
File Formats: Mixed Raster Content (LEADTOOLS MRC)
The Mixed Raster Content format was defined for use of color and grayscale fax. LEADTOOLS offers the LEADTOOLS MRC (Mixed Raster Content) format. The LEADTOOLS Mixed Raster Content enables most different coding methods and a lot of resolutions (such as one bit, two bit, grayscale, and pictures) 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.
The default extension used by this format is: MRC.
LEADTOOLS supports Load and save for this format.
