About formats

FIG is the native file format of Xfig, a free vector graphics editor for the X Window System, originally written by Supoj Sutanthavibul at the University of Texas at Austin in 1985. The format uses a plain-text structure where each graphic object is described on one or more lines with numeric parameters specifying object type, coordinates, line properties, fill attributes, and depth ordering. FIG supports compound objects (groups), polylines, polygons, splines, arcs, ellipses, text strings, and imported bitmaps, each with configurable colors, line styles, arrow heads, and area fills. Files begin with a header line declaring the format version (currently 3.2), followed by a resolution specification and the object definitions. One advantage is exceptional simplicity — the entirely text-based format is trivially parsed, generated, and manipulated by scripts, making FIG popular as an intermediate format in automated diagram generation pipelines. The rich ecosystem of conversion tools is another strength: fig2dev exports FIG files to dozens of output formats including EPS, PDF, SVG, LaTeX picture environments, PSTricks, and TikZ. This made Xfig and FIG especially popular in academic and scientific communities, where authors generate publication-quality figures that integrate seamlessly with LaTeX documents. While graphical tools have evolved since the 1980s, FIG remains in use among researchers who value its scriptability, LaTeX integration, and well-documented format stability.

WebP is an image format developed by Google, announced on September 30, 2010, designed to provide superior compression for web images in both lossy and lossless modes. The lossy mode is derived from the VP8 video codec's intra-frame coding (the same technology used in WebM video), applying block prediction, transform coding, and adaptive quantization to photographic content. The lossless mode uses a distinct algorithm combining predictive coding, color space transforms, backward reference to repeated pixel patterns, and entropy coding. WebP also supports alpha transparency in both modes — lossy WebP with transparency is unique among common web formats, offering semi-transparent images at much smaller sizes than PNG. The format supports animated sequences as well, providing a modern alternative to GIF with full-color support and dramatically better compression. One advantage is substantial file size reduction — lossy WebP produces images 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality, and lossless WebP is typically 26% smaller than PNG, directly improving web page loading speed and reducing bandwidth costs. Universal browser support provides another key strength: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and all mobile browsers now render WebP natively, achieving the broad adoption threshold needed for practical deployment. Google's core web infrastructure (Search, YouTube thumbnails, Gmail) uses WebP extensively, and the format is supported by major CDN platforms, CMS systems, and image processing services. WebP has established itself as the primary modern alternative to JPEG and PNG for web content.
