- 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.
- The PGX file format is associated with Hopedot VOS, a virtual operating system software that allows users to run a separate operating environment on their computers, similar to virtualization technologies. A PGX file typically contains data related to the Hopedot VOS environment, such as settings, applications, and other user-specific information.
