Application Visualization System X Image (.avs)

The AVS (Application Visualization System) X Image file format, developed by Stardent Computer for UNIX systems, is a high-end raster image format designed for scientific visualization and complex data representation. Its true-color images with an alpha channel provide superior image integrity and transparency capabilities, ensuring accurate and clear visual data. Despite the emergence of newer formats, AVS X Image's uncompressed nature maintains its relevance in professional IT applications.
