- 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.
- 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.
