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 Sun Raster file extension, also known as RAS, is a bitmap graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems for use on their SunOS operating system. It supports black-and-white, grayscale, and color images with various pixel depths and includes simple Run-Length Encoding (RLE) compression. The format was widely used in UNIX-based systems and is supported by many imaging applications. The RAS format has largely been superseded by more modern formats but remains relevant for legacy systems and specific use cases.
