Calamus Raster Graphic (CRG) is a graphics format associated with the Calamus desktop publishing software by invers Software. At least some CRG images are compressed using a simple run-length encoding scheme.
Refer to Calamus for more information about the software, and related formats.

Identification
CRG files apparently begin with the ASCII signature "CALAMUSCRG".
Format details
[Partial decoding, based on analysis of a small number of CRG files. This may be incorrect.]
Multi-byte integers are big-endian.

RLE compression
The compressed data consists of a code byte, followed by one or more data bytes, followed by another code byte, and so on. To decompress:
| Code byte (N) | Instructions |
|---|---|
| N ≤ 127 | Emit the next N+1 bytes literally. |
| N ≥ 128 | Emit the next byte N−127 times. |
After decompression, pixels are in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order. The format is 8 pixels per byte, most significant bit first, white is 0. Rows are padded to the next byte boundary.
