The RLA image file format, developed by Wavefront Technologies, is used in computer graphics and animation to store high-resolution 3D images. It supports 16 million colors, employs run-length encoding for compression, and can store multiple images in one file. The format includes metadata for accurate rendering across platforms and supports field-rendered images from live video. It has evolved to support multichannel image data, making it widely adopted in the visual effects industry.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
