File Description | PBM is the basic raster image format. It's 1-bit black and white image in which each pixel contains a byte of 1 or 0: 1 displays black and 0 displays white pixels. PBM is designed for easy transfer of bitmaps between different computer systems. It's thus stored in text format. PBM is one of graphics formats used and defined by the Netpbm project. Other popular Netpbm file formats include the portable pixmap format (.PPM), and the portable graymap format (.PGM). Sometimes, they are also called the portable anymap format (.PNM). |
