- Description
- A FIG file is a figure saved from MATLAB. It stores the plot itself - axes, lines, markers, surfaces, images, text, legends and colorbars - inside a MAT-file, so MATLAB can open and edit it again.
- The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) file format is a digital file format used primarily in astronomy for storing, transmitting, and analyzing scientific images and data. Developed in the late 1970s, FITS was designed to provide a standard for the interchange of astronomical data, facilitating the sharing and analysis of data among astronomers and researchers worldwide.
