- Description
- Portable Float Map, an uncompressed high-dynamic-range raster image format that stores each pixel as 32-bit floating-point values, in colour (PF) or greyscale (Pf).
- A MAT-file holds the variables saved from a MATLAB session: numeric arrays such as matrices and images, text, cell arrays and structs. Files saved with -v7.3 are HDF5 files behind a MATLAB header. Unity and Unreal material files use the .mat extension too, but they are a different format.
