- Description
- A MAT-file holds the variables saved from a MATLAB session: numeric arrays such as matrices and images, text, cell arrays and structs. Files saved with -v7.3 are HDF5 files behind a MATLAB header. Unity and Unreal material files use the .mat extension too, but they are a different format.
- Image file format related to the .PNG format, but uses lossy compression like standard .JPG files; developed as a sub-format for .MNG objects, but can also be used as a standalone raster image format.
