The XPM (X PixMap) file extension is a format used for storing pixmap images, primarily in the X Window System for Unix-based systems. Developed in the late 1980s, it allows for the storage of images in plain text, making it human-readable and editable. XPM files are mainly utilized for defining icons and graphical elements in software applications. They support transparency and can be easily integrated into programming languages such as C, enhancing the customization and visual appeal of user interfaces. The format's simplicity and flexibility have cemented its role in software development and graphical design.
The PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) file extension is a versatile bitmap format used primarily in UNIX-based systems. It extends the Portable Any Map (PNM) format, supporting 2-dimensional image data storage in a binary format with an ASCII header. Introduced to enhance flexibility and interoperability in image processing, PAM files are utilized for various graphical applications, offering a standardized method for handling diverse image types. This format's history traces back to the need for a more adaptable and comprehensive bitmap solution within the PNM family.
