File Formats: ABIC Format (ABIC, ICA)

Note: Support for this feature requires Document/Medical licensing.

LEADTOOLS reads and writes ABIC files.

The ABIC file format is a raster file format created by IBM. This file format consists of ABIC compression/decompression algorithms that use an arithmetic coding technique to produce lossless data compression, these algorithms called ABIC (Bi-level Q-Coder) compression algorithm and Concatenated ABIC (Grayscale) compression algorithm.

LEADTOOLS can Load/Save (compression/decompression) ABIC Raw data separately.

The default extension used by this format is: ICA, ABIC (for raw data).

This file format does not support progressive loads and saves, multipage files, stamps, or Lossless JPEG compression.

Support for this file format can be unlocked using the following support constant: AbicRead, AbicSave.

The file constants associated with this file format are:

Constant	Read Support	Write Support	Description
IcaAbic	1, 4 BPP	1, 4 BPP	Raw ABIC compressed data

Required DLL: Leadtools.Codecs.Abi.dll. For a listing of the exact DLLs needed, based on the toolkit version, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application .
