- Description
- The RLE (Run Length Encoded Bitmap) file type is a bitmap image format that employs run-length encoding, a simple compression technique to minimize file size without losing image quality. This method works by compressing sequences of identical pixels (runs) into a single value and count, rather than storing each pixel individually. RLE is particularly effective for images with large areas of uniform color, such as icons, line drawings, and simple graphics. It can significantly reduce file sizes, making it beneficial for storage.
- FODG (Flat XML ODF Drawing) is an XML-based file format used for storing vector graphic drawings, commonly used in programs such as LibreOffice Draw. It is a zipped archive that contains XML files and other resources, such as images and fonts, used in the drawing.
