The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
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.
