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.
The Farbfeld (FF) file extension stands for "Farbfeld Lossless Image", a format designed for simplicity and efficiency in parsing and piping image data. Introduced by the Suckless community, Farbfeld stores images in a straightforward, uncompressed format, making it ideal for use with external compression algorithms. This format uses 32-bit RGBA values for each pixel, ensuring lossless quality. Its history traces back to the need for a minimalistic, easily manageable image format that avoids the complexity of integrated compression found in formats like PNG.
