The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
The XPM file format is a text-based graphical standard, crucial for icon storage in the X Window System. It supports transparency, facilitating versatile icon design. Editable via text editors and integrable into C/C++ code, it was developed by Dardailler and Nahaboo at the Bull Research Center and later enhanced by Le Hors, making it indispensable for GUI development.
