GrayPaint (also spelled Gray Paint, GrayPaint?, Graypaint, etc.) is a raster graphics editor for Palm OS. Its native images are 16-shade grayscale, and may be found in a Palm OS Database file named GrayPaintDB.pdb.
[edit] Disambiguation
GrayPaint is, we have to tell you, an exceedingly difficult format to Google for (or search for in any other search engine competing with Google®). You end up with listings (native and paid) for various physical paint companies advertising the gray-scaled varieties of their products, and attempts to refine the search eventually get you to treatises on doing gray-scaled images in various computerized paint programs, as well as a conversion program in Visual Basic that happens to be called "Graypaint", but only converts established image file formats rather than inventing its own.
[edit] Identification
Based on the demo GrayPaintDB.pdb file, we're assuming that GrayPaint PDB files have ASCII "DATAGrP?" at offset 60. (The last character is a literal question mark, not a wildcard.)
[edit] Links
- Gray Paint 2.0 software from the Internet Archive and Tucows
- GrayPaint? 2.1 website, from archive.org
- GrayPaint 2.2.3 documentation in plain text
