- 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 Visualization Image File Format (VIFF) is a specialized file format designed for storing image data. It is primarily used in scientific and technical applications where complex visualization of multi-dimensional data is required. VIFF files can store various types of data including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making them suitable for tasks such as image processing, medical imaging, and remote sensing. This format supports a range of metadata, allowing for the inclusion of information about the image data, such as dimensions and color.
