PCT File Extension Description

The PCT file extension functions as a graphics file or image file, for its associated applications, namely; the ClarisWorks, PC Paint and QuickDraw applications.

The ClarisWorks software is a complete software package used for Macintosh computers. It can be used for homes, schools, and businesses. This application can also produce letters, budgets, reports, names and addresses, and a lot more. This is possible since the ClarisWorks is an all-in-one spreadsheet, database tool, and word processor application. Meanwhile, what the PCT file extension does with this application is to provide it with clipart files.

The PCT file extension can be inserted into a ClarisWorks document. Usually, files with the PCT file extension are grouped into categories, where users can easily choose from to make their work easier and faster. Just like the other applications related to the PCT file extension, these clipart files are in bitmap format. Other than the ClarisWorks, the PCT file extension also works for another Apple application called the QuickDraw. And the PCT file extension?s function with this is similar to its function in the ClarisWorks application. This file extension identifies the drawing file made with QuickDraw.

The program QuickDraw is a 2D graphics library that is associated with APIs or application programming interfaces. It is one of the core parts of the early Apple Macintosh platforms. Presently however, with newer Mac computers, the QuickDraw is just used as a simple library application, which still uses the PCT file extension, since it was superseded by the newer Quarts application.

Moreover, the PCT file extension is used as a bitmap image for the application PC Paint. The PC Paint is the first IBM PC-based mouse driven paint program developed by Doug Wolfgram and John Bridges. This is also capable of making images in bitmap form and these graphic files are named with the PCT file extension.
