- Description
- The MIFF (Magick Image File Format) is a versatile image format used primarily by ImageMagick, a software suite for creating, editing, converting, and displaying bitmap images. It is designed to store bitmap images with a high degree of flexibility, supporting various depths and color spaces, including transparency and multiple layers. MIFF files are often used for temporary storage during image processing tasks, as they can efficiently preserve the full quality and attributes of images.
- The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) file format is a plain text file format used to store pixmap images, which are pixel-based graphics. It is designed for use with the X Window System, commonly used in Unix and Linux environments. XPM files define images in a structured format, using ASCII text to describe each pixel's color and location within the image. This format supports both monochrome and color images and allows for the definition of custom color palettes.
