About formats

SUN is a raster image format associated with Sun Microsystems workstations, encompassing both the Sun Raster format (.ras) and the Sun Icon format used for window system icons and cursors on SunOS and Solaris systems. Sun Raster files, identifiable by their 0x59a66a95 magic number, store bitmap images in 1-bit monochrome, 8-bit indexed color, 24-bit BGR, or 32-bit XBGR modes, with optional run-length encoding compression and a 32-byte header. The Sun Icon subset is a simpler text-based format used for small monochrome bitmaps — window icons, cursor images, and toolbar graphics — stored as C-language data arrays that could be directly compiled into X Window and SunView applications. These icon files begin with a comment block specifying width, height, and optionally hot spot coordinates (for cursor images), followed by hexadecimal pixel values in a format readable by both the C compiler and the iconedit tool. Sun workstations running SunOS and later Solaris were foundational platforms for Unix computing, networking, and the early internet, and the SUN image formats were integral to their graphical environments. One advantage is the format's dual text/binary nature: Sun Icons are valid C source code that can be #included directly into applications, a practical approach to resource embedding that predates modern asset management systems. The Sun Raster variant's simplicity provides another strength — the 32-byte header and straightforward encoding make it one of the easiest binary image formats to parse. SUN format files are supported by ImageMagick, GIMP, XnView, and Unix image viewing tools.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector file format developed by Adobe Systems in collaboration with Aldus Corporation, first published in 1987. Built on Adobe's PostScript page description language, EPS wraps a self-contained PostScript program describing a single page of graphics — including vector paths, text, and embedded raster images — within a structured comment framework that provides bounding box coordinates and optional preview thumbnails. The encapsulation allows an EPS file to be placed into another document as a contained graphic element without interfering with the host document's PostScript code. For decades, EPS served as the universal exchange format in professional publishing, prepress, and print production, accepted by virtually every design, illustration, and page layout application across platforms. One key advantage is print-industry reliability — because EPS contains device-independent PostScript instructions, output is consistent across different RIPs, imagesetters, and printing presses. The format's cross-application compatibility is another strength: an EPS file created in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape can be placed in QuarkXPress, InDesign, or Word without requiring the originating application. While PDF has largely superseded EPS for modern workflows, the format remains widely used in stock illustration libraries, legacy publishing pipelines, and any context requiring a proven, universally supported vector exchange format.
