- The POTX file format is a template file used by Microsoft PowerPoint, a well-known presentation software. As part of the Open XML file format family introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, POTX files are used for creating multiple presentations with a similar layout, style, and formatting, ensuring consistency across documents. These templates can include predefined slide backgrounds, fonts, color schemes, and layouts. Users can create new presentations based on these templates, which allows for efficient creation of visually cohesive and professionally styled presentations.
- The XWD (X Windows Dump) image file format is a native graphic format associated with the X Window System, which is a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments. An XWD file is essentially a dump or snapshot of what is being displayed on a screen or part of it at a given moment. It stores image data in an uncompressed form, including the header information that contains details about the image's size, color, and format.
