- Description
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
- PDS (Planetary Data System) is a file type that is used to store data collected from spacecraft missions sent to explore planets and other bodies in our solar system. This data includes images, spectra, and other measurements, and is stored in a standard format to allow for easy access and analysis.
