About the XPM format
XPM — X Windows Pixmap
XPM is a color bitmap format used in the X Window System on Unix and Linux. It stores images as ASCII text (valid C source code), making it human-readable and easily embeddable in source code. It was widely used for icons and UI elements in early Linux desktop environments.
Common uses
- X11 Linux desktop icons and graphics
- Embedding images directly in C/C++ source code
- Legacy GTK and Motif application icons
- Simple cross-platform image storage in text form
About the JEF format
JEF — Janome Embroidery Format
JEF is the native machine embroidery format for Janome and Elna embroidery machines. Unlike DST it does store thread colour information, so a JEF file carries both the stitch path and the colour sequence the machine should follow.
Common uses
- Loading designs onto Janome and Elna embroidery machines
- Converting DST or PES designs for Janome hardware
- Home embroidery projects with colour sequences preserved
- Janome digitizing software output
