Convert WPG to FITS

The WPG file extension stands for WordPerfect Graphics, a format used by Corel's WordPerfect Office suite to store both vector and bitmap images. These files, supporting up to 256 colors, are typically embedded as clipart in documents. Developed by Corel Corporation, WPG files are compatible with various Corel applications like CorelDRAW and PaintShop Pro, as well as some third-party tools. This format enhances document visual appeal by integrating graphics seamlessly.

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
