Convert X AVS to VIFF

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.

The Khoros Visualization Image File Format (VIFF), developed by AccuSoft Corporation, is a bitmap image format used primarily within the Khoros software environment for scientific and engineering applications. It supports various image types, including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making it useful for visualizing complex datasets. Despite its powerful capabilities, VIFF is now considered somewhat obsolete due to the emergence of newer, more versatile image formats. However, it remains an important part of the history of image processing and visualization technologies.
