RAST to SVGZ Conversion: FAQ
What are RAST files?
RAST is a Sun Raster image format developed for Sun UNIX platforms. These types of operating systems were launched by Sun Microsystems for use on both workstations and server computer systems. As opposed to RAS, which is also a Sun Raster format, RAST images are less compatible with image viewers outside the Sun UNIX platforms. They support various types of image colour depths, from monochrome to 32-bit TrueColor and are mostly designed for UNIX users.
What are SVGZ files?
SVGZ is an extension attached to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images with GZIP compression. Such files can contain animations or interactive graphics, including vector objects, images and text, while supporting layer rendering, transparency, filter effects and several other features. As a version of SVG, the SVGZ format is based on an open standard and uses the XML markup language, being supported by most web browsers. The main advantage of SVGZ over its uncompressed variant is size, which can be 20 to 50 percent smaller.
