- Description
- Originally used on the Sun Microsystems computers, RAS is a raster image format that displays bitmap images. It is popularly used for specific types of research projects and it can be developed in Unix OS as well. It supports 1 and 32-bits per pixel and used RLE compression codec.
- The SXW file format is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application that was part of the StarOffice suite developed by Sun Microsystems. The SXW file type was primarily used to save text documents that could include formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements. StarOffice served as a precursor to the more widely known OpenOffice.org suite, which later evolved into Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, among others.
