Correct. As their origin are diverse, those files have different file
formats (JPG, GIF, PICT), but I think it would be easier to deal with a
single file format. Anyway, mostly are PICTs (screen captures).

Yes. Just to clear it up a bit more:
-- All lines are perpendicular.
-- Pictures are always closed, though their boundaries could be irregular,
like this one:
0000
0000011000
0400412220
0444112000
05641320
000005663320
055566633000
0000005777390
0887779999a00
00888d9bbaaa0
000008dbbaa000
0dddbbccc0
0edffcc000
0eeefc00
000geefh0
0gggffh00
0gghhhh0
00000000
-- Also a PICT file may contain more than one picture (this is not common).
Thanks for your interest.
