- Description
- The GRO file type, specifically associated with the HP-48 and HP-49 series of graphing calculators, stands for GROB, which is short for "graphics object." These files contain graphical data or images that can be displayed on the calculator's screen. GRO files are used for a range of applications, including mathematical visualizations, games, and educational tools. They enable users to share and display custom images, enhancing the calculators' functionality for both academic and recreational purposes.
- 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.
