The Truevision Graphics Adapter (TGA) file extension, also known as TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter), is a raster graphics file format. Introduced by Truevision Inc. in 1984, it was initially designed for their TARGA and VISTA graphic cards, which were among the first cards capable of displaying true color (24-bit) images. TGA files are widely used in various professional applications, including video editing, game development, and computer imaging, due to their ability to store high-quality graphics and support for features like alpha channels, gamma correction, and HDR imaging. TGA remains a popular choice for professionals in the industry.
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.
