Alias PIX is a raster image file format. It uses RLE compression, and supports truecolor and grayscale images.

The truecolor variety is also known as Vivid IMG. See Vivid IMG for more information relevant to Alias PIX.

Disambiguation

ImageMagick calls Alias PIX Alias/Wavefront RLE image format. This is potentially confusing, because a different format, RLA, is also associated with Alias|Wavefront, and also uses RLE compression.

Format

An Alias PIX file has a 10 byte header, followed by the pixel data.
