BMP
| Uncompressed 24 bit Microsoft windows bitmap. The approximate size of the file (in bytes) is file size = 3 * image width *image height
| PNG
| 24 bit lossless compressed Portable Network Graphics image. offers the similar degree of compression as GIF but has better colour quality.
| JPG
| Joint Photographic Experts Group compressed format. This gives image quality nearly comparable to 24 bit-plane bitmaps, but with a file of < 5% the equivalent size. JPEG format is supported by all common visualisation packages and is recommended for all applications unless image quality is of paramount importance.
| PPM
| 24 bit uncompressed Portable Pix Map. The approximate size of the file is [3 * image width *image height] bytes.
