About PPM Format

Portable Pixel Map

The standard uncompressed color format of the Netpbm suite.

Overview

PPM (Portable Pixel Map) is the color counterpart to PGM and PBM. It is the most widely used format in the Netpbm library for storing full-color RGB images. Like its siblings, it is designed for extreme simplicity and ease of interchange between Unix tools.

Technical Details

PPM files come in two flavors: P3 (ASCII) and P6 (Binary). - **ASCII (P3)**: Pixels are written as readable RGB triplets (e.g., `255 0 0` for red). - **Binary (P6)**: Pixels are raw byte triplets. The header is minimal: Magic Number, Width, Height, Maxval. It does not support alpha channels (use PAM for that) or compression.

History

Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1991 to bring color support to the pbmplus (Netpbm) toolkit. It became the lingua franca for Unix graphics utilities.

Common Use Cases

  • •Interchange: Moving raw image data between C programs.
  • •Educational: Used in CS classes to teach image processing.

About WPG Format

WordPerfect Graphics

The clip art format of the WordPerfect era.

Overview

WPG (WordPerfect Graphics) is a file format associated with Corel's WordPerfect word processor. It can contain both vector graphics (lines, curves) and raster graphics (bitmaps), making it a 'metafile' similar to WMF.

Technical Details

There are two main versions: WPG1 (WordPerfect 5.0) and WPG2 (WordPerfect 6.0). WPG1 is strictly 16-color or 256-color. WPG2 supports up to 24-bit color and more advanced vector commands. ImageMagick primarily supports reading the raster components.

History

Dominant in the late 80s/early 90s when WordPerfect was the market leader for word processing, before the rise of Microsoft Word.

Common Use Cases

  • •Document Conversion: Extracting images from old .wpd documents.
