- 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 Utah Raster Toolkit image file, commonly known as a URT file, is a format used for storing bitmap images. Originating from the Utah Raster Toolkit, a collection of tools and libraries for handling raster images, URT files are specifically designed for complex image processing and visualization tasks. This file format supports various types of image data, including color, grayscale, and black-and-white images. URT files are primarily used in academic, research, and development settings where advanced image manipulation and analysis are required.
