Le format du fichier PBM

L'extension de .pbm
Catégorie de images
DescriptionThe PBM (Portable Bitmap) format is a binary image file format that stores black and white (1-bit) images. It is one of the Netpbm formats, a family of image formats used primarily for storing and transmitting digital images. PBM files are uncompressed and can be easily created and edited using text editors or image manipulation software.
Détails techniquesThe PBM format represents images using a simple and efficient raster format, where each pixel is represented by a single bit, indicating whether it is black or white. The image data is stored as a series of ASCII characters, with each row of pixels separated by a newline character. PBM files can also be stored in binary format, which is more efficient for large images. PBM files can be easily converted to other Netpbm formats, such as PGM (Portable Graymap) and PPM (Portable Pixmap), which allow for the storage of grayscale and color images, respectively.
