- 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 GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
