The Sun Raster (SUN) file extension, originating from Sun Microsystems, is a bitmap image format used primarily on SunOS systems. Known for its versatility in storing raster graphics, it supports various color depths, from monochrome to 24-bit true color. Initially created for the Sun workstation's image processing software, it facilitated efficient graphical data manipulation and transmission. Over time, its straightforward structure and compatibility with different Unix-based systems ensured its adoption in diverse graphic applications. Today, while largely historical, the SUN file format remains an important part of the legacy of early computer graphics development.
The XPM file format is a text-based graphical standard, crucial for icon storage in the X Window System. It supports transparency, facilitating versatile icon design. Editable via text editors and integrable into C/C++ code, it was developed by Dardailler and Nahaboo at the Bull Research Center and later enhanced by Le Hors, making it indispensable for GUI development.
