The Sun Raster (SR) file extension, is a raster graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems for use on their SunOS operating system. This format, which stores black-and-white, grayscale, and color bitmapped data, was widely used in UNIX-based systems and supported by various imaging applications. The Sun Raster format includes a header, an optional color map, and the bitmapped image data. Although it does not support transparency, it remains a simple and widely distributed bitmap format.
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.
