- 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.
- 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.
