About PALM Format

Palm Pixmap

The graphics format for Palm Pilot PDAs.

Overview

The Palm Pixmap format is the native bitmap resource used by Palm OS devices (like the Palm Pilot, Tungsten, and Treo). It was designed for the constraints of early handhelds: low memory, low CPU power, and limited screen depth (initially 1-bit, then 4-bit grayscale, then 8/16-bit color).

Technical Details

Palm images are usually stored inside a pdb (Palm Database) container file. The pixel data itself supports multiple compression types, primarily PackBits (RLE) and ScanLine. It handles transparency via a designated transparent index color. The format is tightly coupled with the Palm OS resource manager structure.

History

Debuted with the original Palm Pilot in 1996. As screen technology evolved, the format was extended to support color and high density (double density) screens on devices like the Sony Clie and Palm Tungsten.

Common Use Cases

  • Legacy App Development: Creating assets for retro Palm OS apps.
  • E-book Covers: PalmDOC e-books often embedded cover art in this format.

Advantages

  • Optimized for Low Power

Limitations

  • Dead Platform
  • Low Fidelity

About JPM Format

JPEG 2000 Compound Image

JPEG 2000 for multi-layer documents.

Overview

JPM (JPEG 2000 Part 6) is a compound image file format. It is designed for storing document images that contain a mix of text and graphics, using a Mixed Raster Content (MRC) model. It allows for different compression methods to be applied to different 'layers' of the image (e.g., sharp edges for text, smooth gradients for photos).

Technical Details

JPM splits an image into multiple layers (e.g., background, foreground mask, foreground color). Each layer can be compressed differently (e.g., JBIG2 for text mask, JPEG 2000 for background photos), optimizing both quality and file size for scanned documents. This is significantly more efficient than compressing an entire scanned page as a single JPEG 2000 image.

History

Part of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-6), specifically targeting the document archival market.

Common Use Cases

  • Document Archival: Scanned documents with mixed content.

Advantages

  • Efficiency
  • Legibility

Limitations

  • Support
