DescriptionWPG (WordPerfect Graphics) is a vector graphics file format used by WordPerfect, a word processing application. It was created in 1992 and can be used to store images and drawings created within WordPerfect or imported from other programs.
Technical detailsWPG files can contain both raster and vector graphics and can be compressed to reduce file size. The format supports up to 16 million colors and can be saved in either binary or ASCII format. The vector graphics in WPG files are based on Bezier curves, which are used to define the shape of lines and curves in the image. This allows the graphics to be scaled without losing resolution or clarity. WPG files can also contain bitmap images, which are stored using run-length encoding to compress the data.
