The RLA file extension stands for Run-Length Encoded, Version A, a bitmap image format developed by Alias/Wavefront. It is primarily used for storing raster graphics with run-length encoding to compress image data efficiently. RLA files are compatible with various image viewing and editing software, such as XnView. This format was popularized in the early days of computer graphics for its ability to handle arbitrary image channels and support efficient storage of large images.
The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
