- 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.
- An SK1 vector graphic file is a file format primarily used by the sK1 illustration program, which focuses on providing professional-quality design features for prepress processing. Unlike other vector formats, the SK1 file format is unique for its support of CMYK color, which is crucial for color accuracy in printing. It also includes advanced features such as color profiles and spot colors, making it particularly suitable for tasks that require precise color matching and high-quality print outputs.
