distribution and display of photographic
quality images.
10. The JPEG-2000 image compression system
has a rate-distortion advantage over the
original JPEG. It allows extraction of
different resolutions, pixel fidelities, regions
of interest, components, and more, all from
a single compressed bitstream. JPEG-2000
also has options for lossy and lossless
compression.
11. Apple Macintosh Metafile supported by
most Mac programs.

MacPaint application. The MAC format
requires always an image width of 576 pixels
and a height of 720 lines.
13. Mono bitmap format used mainly for Black-
and-white drawings and clip art.

format on the Sun UNIX platforms. It is a
simple bitmap format with wide distribution
as it is supported by Sun OS and many
UNIX based applications.

documents between different applications
and different computer platforms. It
supports the LZW method compression for
image types.
22. Developed by Truevision Inc. TGA files is a
file format that will support images suitable
for display on Targa hardware but is
supported by many applications on a wide
range of platforms.
23. Graphics file format used to exchange
graphics information between Microsoft
Windows applications.
24. The RLE format is a variation of the
Windows BMP format that offers asome
image compression. In Windows it can be
used to create compressed wallpaper files or
to replace the opening Windows logo screen.
25. Windows Bitmap file with color options of
Mono, 4-bit, 8-bit, 24-bit. Compression is
RLE, Huffman 1D, or uncompressed. This

they are viewed together they form a picture.
Vector graphics are drawings stored as objects, such
as lines and curves.
Inkscape would be a vector graphics editor.
Gimp and Photoshop would be used for raster images.
