Can someone tell me what compression scheme is used in PICT files for 32-bit
(RGBDirect) images? I'm trying to write images in full RGB on a Sun, for
later video animation on a Mac, so I need the compression algorithm as part of
the PICT image dumping code. If anyone would be willing to share code that
already does this, that'd be great, but a description of the compression
algorithm would be just as good. Thanks.
