- 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.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
