- Description
- The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) file format is a plain text file format used to store pixmap images, which are pixel-based graphics. It is designed for use with the X Window System, commonly used in Unix and Linux environments. XPM files define images in a structured format, using ASCII text to describe each pixel's color and location within the image. This format supports both monochrome and color images and allows for the definition of custom color palettes.
- The ICB file format, standing for Targa ICB Bitmap Image, is a type of image file associated with the Targa (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) image format. Targa files, including ICB, are known for their versatility in handling various types of digital images, including color, grayscale, and monochrome. The ICB variant is part of a broader family of Targa formats, which are often used in professional environments for digital video editing, animation, and graphic design.
