The RLE (Run-Length Encoded) file extension, associated with the Utah Raster Toolkit, is a lossless image compression format used primarily for 4 or 8-bit bitmap images. Developed at the University of Utah, it employs run-length encoding to compress data by reducing consecutive repeated values, making it efficient for simple graphics like icons and line drawings. Historically, it was widely used in early versions of Windows and CompuServe software.
The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
