- Description
- The CIT file format, associated with Intergraph, is primarily used for storing raster graphics data. It is designed to handle scanned images, particularly in engineering, mapping, and construction projects where high precision and detail are required. The format is optimized for efficient storage and retrieval, supporting lossless compression to maintain the quality of the images. Intergraph systems utilize this format to manage and process large datasets of graphical information in professional environments.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
