It's a chart that someone has created from the image.  Sometimes they're easier to work off than the original chart.  The problem is the colours are rarely identical to the original chart.  They still look good, but they're not authentic.

Sorry, but I don't this is is quite true.  I've done repaints and I've always used the floss colors called for in the chart.  I have also downloaded quite a few repaints that others have posted to Pindiy and have yet to encounter one that doesn't use the floss colors the original charts called for.  I have found a few repaints where the original charts called for rare or hard to find floss brands that the person doing the repaint converted to DMC.  These charts were always clearly labeled that a floss conversion had been used.

I can list half a dozen off the top of my head that don't match the originals.  Without me even looking have a look at Dimensions Mythical Dragon, or the Lavender and Lace Seasons charts.

When it's a XSD file (what it most of the time is), you can change it in a machine embroidery file (PES - HUS - DST - ...)
