- Description
- The CALS raster file format, commonly known by the extension ".cal" or ".cals," is a bitmap file format designed primarily for the storage and interchange of digital images, especially in the field of computer-aided design (CAD) and engineering. Developed by the United States Department of Defense, it was intended to standardize the exchange of graphics data for electronic publishing of technical manuals. This format supports monochrome (1-bit) images and is distinguished by its efficient compression methods for reducing file sizes, facilitating easier storage and transmission. Despite its specific initial use case, the CALS raster format has found application in various industries for the archiving and sharing of high-resolution, scanned documents.
- X-Motif UIL Table (UIL) is a plain text file format used by the User Interface Language (UIL) compiler, which is used for creating user interfaces for the X Window System. This format is used for defining menus, buttons, dialog boxes, and other components of graphical user interfaces. UIL files are written using a set of keywords and parameters that can be used to set up the visual elements of the user interface.
