Windows Metafile (.wmf)

The Windows Metafile (WMF) is a graphic file format used by Microsoft Windows to store vector and bitmap image data. Originating in the late 1980s, WMF files enable the efficient exchange of graphical content between applications. They serve functions like clip art storage, image rendering in documents, and transferring graphics across different software platforms. Designed to be device-independent, WMF ensures consistent image presentation regardless of the output device, maintaining visual fidelity across varying screen resolutions and printer outputs. As a legacy format, its use has diminished with the advent of more advanced graphical file formats.

DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

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.
