The graphic formats available in SPENVIS are listed in the table below. The format selection has no influence if VRML visualisation was chosen. In this case, both a JPEG and a VRML file are created.
| Graphic format | Extension | MIME type | Expanded acronym |
|---|---|---|---|
| GIF | gif | image/gif | Graphical Interchange Format |
| PNG | png | image/x-png | Portable Network Graphics |
| TIFF | tif | image/tiff | Tag Image File Format |
| PS | ps | application/postscript | PostScript |
| EPS | eps | application/postscript | Encapsulated Postscript |
| CGM | cgm | image/cgm | Computer Graphics Metafile |
| BMP | bmp | image/x-ms-bmp | Windows BitMap |
| JPEG | jpg | image/jpeg | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
| VRML | wrl | model/vrml | Virtual Reality Modeling Language |
Because the LZW (Lempel-Zif-Welch) compression algorithm has been patented by the Unisys Corporation, and users of this technology are required to enter into a licence agreement with Unisys Corporation, the GIF format may no longer be supported in the future. PNG and TIFF formats are now provided as an alternative.
