X PixMap
Color icons written as text.
XPM (X PixMap) is the usage successor to XBM. It allows for color images (and transparency) to be stored as C source code arrays. It was the standard format for icons in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and many Unix window managers.
An XPM file is valid C code defining a character array: `static char * icon[] = { ... }`. The data defines a color palette (mapping characters like '.' or '#' to hex colors) and then draws the image using those characters. This makes it human-readable and editable in a text editor.
Developed by Groupe Bull in 1989 to bring color support to X11 icons.
Palm Pixmap
The graphics format for Palm Pilot PDAs.
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).
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.
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.
