The XBM (X11 Bitmap Graphic) file extension is a plain-text binary file format historically used in the X Window System to store monochrome bitmap images. Its primary use is for defining small, simple graphics such as icons and cursors. Originating from the 1980s, XBM files enable the inclusion of image data directly in C source code, facilitating easy integration and compilation within applications. While their use has declined with the advent of more advanced graphics formats, XBMs remain relevant for legacy systems and specific low-resource environments.
The Portable Graymap (PGM) file extension, originating in the late 1980s as part of the Netpbm project, stands for "Portable Gray Map". It serves as a simple, versatile format for grayscale images, enabling easy reading and writing by various programs. Due to its straightforward structure and plain text encoding, it's often used in academic and research settings where ease of parsing and accessibility are crucial. PGM files store grayscale images in a compact, efficient manner, making them an essential tool for image processing tasks.
