Convert RLA to X AVS

The RLA file extension stands for Run-Length Encoded, Version A, a bitmap image format developed by Alias/Wavefront. It is primarily used for storing raster graphics with run-length encoding to compress image data efficiently. RLA files are compatible with various image viewing and editing software, such as XnView. This format was popularized in the early days of computer graphics for its ability to handle arbitrary image channels and support efficient storage of large images.

The X file extension, also known as Application Visualization System X Image, is used for storing high-quality, true-color images with transparency. Developed by Stardent Computer for UNIX systems, it supports 32 bits per pixel, allowing for over 16,7 million colors with an alpha channel for transparency. This format is particularly valuable in scientific visualization and complex data representation. Despite newer formats, its uncompressed nature ensures image integrity without compression-related degradation.
