- Description
- The XWD (X Windows Dump) image file format is a native graphic format associated with the X Window System, which is a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments. An XWD file is essentially a dump or snapshot of what is being displayed on a screen or part of it at a given moment. It stores image data in an uncompressed form, including the header information that contains details about the image's size, color, and format.
- A Magick Vector Graphics (MVG) file is a specialized image file format used by ImageMagick, a free and open-source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster and vector image files. The MVG format is designed to store vector graphics instructions in a plain text format, which describe how to create or modify images using a series of drawing commands. These commands can include instructions for drawing shapes, setting colors, applying transformations, and other graphical operations.
