- Description
- A Magick Vector Graphics (MVG) file is a specialized image file format used by ImageMagick, a free and open-source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster and vector image files. The MVG format is designed to store vector graphics instructions in a plain text format, which describe how to create or modify images using a series of drawing commands. These commands can include instructions for drawing shapes, setting colors, applying transformations, and other graphical operations.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
