| Description | The "Sun Raster" or "SunOS Raster" file format, commonly referred to as .sun file extension, is a graphics file format originally developed by Sun Microsystems for use on SunOS (Solaris) operating systems. It is primarily used for storing bitmap images and supports a wide range of color depths and resolutions. |
| Détails techniques | The Sun Raster file format consists of a header followed by the pixel data. The header contains information about the image, such as its width, height, color depth, and compression type. The pixel data is stored in row-major order and can be compressed using a variety of compression algorithms, including run-length encoding (RLE), PackBits, and gzip.
The Sun Raster file format supports several color models, including monochrome (1-bit), grayscale (8-bit), pseudocolor (8-bit or 24-bit), and truecolor (24-bit or 32-bit). In addition, the format supports transparency, where a color index can be designated as transparent.
The Sun Raster file format is supported by several image processing and editing software, including Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and ImageMagick. However, it is not as widely used as other image formats, such as JPEG and PNG. |
