Lotus 1-2-3 Chart, or Lotus PIC, is a vector graphics format associated with Lotus 1-2-3 and associated program PrintGraph. Based on Lotus Picture Description Language.
Identification
Known Lotus PIC files begin with 16 bytes 01 00 00 00 01 00 08 00 44 00 00 00 00 0c 7f 09 06. The significance of these byte values is not known. The last four bytes may equal the width and height minus one.
[Ed. note: The Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats appears to have an error: It says there are three 0x00 bytes after the 0x44 byte, when there probably should be four.]
All PIC files start with the 16 byte header and end with opcode 6nh, this terminates the interpretation of the PDL instructions. The variable n represents the lower order four bits of the opcode byte, and can be any value.
PIC files can be device specific on how they are interpreted.
