The SCR file format, standing for Sun Rasterfile, is a raster graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems. It is primarily used for storing bitmap images on SunOS/Solaris operating systems. The format supports various color depths, including 1, 8, 24, and 32-bit color images, allowing it to handle both grayscale and color images. SCR files are notable for their simplicity and were widely used in SunOS environments for graphical data storage and manipulation.
A PGM file is a grayscale image file saved in the portable gray map (PGM) format and encoded with one or two bytes (8 or 16 bits) per pixel. It contains header information and a grid of numbers that represent different shades of gray from black (0) to white (up to 65,536). PGM files are typically stored in ASCII text format, but also have a binary representation.
