About XBM Format

X BitMap

Images written as C source code.

Overview

XBM (X BitMap) is a unique image format that is actually a valid snippet of C source code. It defines an array of bytes representing a monochrome bitmap. Because it is code, it can be compiled directly into an application binary, which made it the standard for X11 icons and cursors.

Technical Details

An XBM file contains `#define` statements for width and height, and a static array of unsigned chars: `static unsigned char image_bits[] = { 0x00, 0xFF, ... };`. It supports only 1-bit color (black and white). Transparency works by defining a mask.

History

The original format for X Window System bitmaps (X10/X11). Used extensively in the 90s for the early World Wide Web (Mosaic browser) before GIF/JPEG took over.

Common Use Cases

  • Embedded UI: Hardcoding icons into firmware.

Advantages

  • Compilation

Limitations

  • Monochrome
  • Inefficient

About TIFF64 Format

BigTIFF

TIFF for files larger than 4GB.

Overview

BigTIFF (often referred to as TIFF64) is an extension of the classic TIFF format designed to break the 4GB file size barrier. It uses 64-bit offsets instead of 32-bit, allowing for files up to 18,000 petabytes.

Technical Details

Standard TIFF uses 32-bit integers for file offsets, limiting the file size to 2^32 bytes (4GB). BigTIFF changes the internal structure to use 64-bit integers. It is not backward compatible with older TIFF readers that only understand 32-bit offsets.

History

Developed to address the needs of geospatial and medical imaging, where single images often exceed 4GB. It is supported by LibTIFF starting from version 4.0.

Common Use Cases

  • Geospatial Imaging: Satellite imagery and aerial photography maps.
  • Microscopy: Whole-slide imaging in pathology.

Advantages

  • Massive Size Support
  • Metadata

Limitations

  • Compatibility
