- 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.
- The RPNM file format, standing for "Portable Image," is a variant of the PNM file format used for storing images. It is designed to be a simple, yet flexible format that can accommodate various types of image data, including grayscale, black and white, and color. RPNM files can be easily transferred between different platforms and software applications due to their simplicity and portability. They are often used in applications and situations where minimal processing and compatibility across different systems are crucial.
