- 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 LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot Graphics File (RGF) is a proprietary binary file format used by the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 software to store robot graphic models. It is a vector-based file format that stores information such as the robot's 3D geometry, color and other visual properties, as well as the model's connection points, used for connecting with other LEGO elements.
