The PAT file format is a pattern file used by CorelDRAW, a vector graphics editor developed by Corel Corporation. It contains patterns that can be applied to fills, outlines, and textures within graphic projects to enhance visual appearance and add complexity to designs. These patterns range from simple geometric designs to more intricate images, allowing users to apply textures and motifs seamlessly across their artwork. PAT files are utilized to store and share custom patterns, facilitating consistency and creativity in graphic design projects.
The PC3 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are bitmap graphics editing programs developed for the Atari ST computer system in the 1980s. These applications were specifically designed to leverage the graphical capabilities of the Atari ST, allowing users to create and manipulate pixel-based images. PC3 files contain image data saved in a proprietary format used by these programs, supporting various resolutions and color palettes available on the Atari platform. While largely obsolete today, the PC3 format and its associated software hold historical significance in the realm of early computer graphics design and development.
