- Description
- GV uses the Graphviz Graph Visualization Software to represent graphs in simple text language (DOT language) that can be understood by both humans and computers.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
