RockWorks programs that display "bitmaps" in 2D and 3D diagrams can support the following formats:
- BMP (Windows Bitmap):
- 1, 4, 8, 16, 24 bit images, Windows and OS/2 format, non compressed and RLE (run length encoded).
- Does not read RLE with 24 bit images.
- EMF & WMF (Enhanced Windows MetaFile & Windows Metafile):
- Converts bitmaps to 24 bit true color files
- A metafile is not a native bitmap format, but rather a vector format which stores GDI "instructions". The programs will read these images by converting them to a bitmap format.
- JPG & JPEG (Joint Photograph Experts Group):
- 8 bit grayscale and 24 bit true color.
- PCX (Z-Soft PC Paintbrush):
- 1, 4, 8 and 24 bit images supporting RLE compression.
- PNG (Portable Network Graphics):
- 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 48 bit images.
- Supports reading alpha channel, gamma adjustments, progressive saving, and variable compression levels.
- TGA (TrueVision Targa):
- 8 and 24 bits non compressed and RLE compressed files.
- TIF & TIFF (Tag Image File Format):
- 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 bit images.
- Uncompressed, CCITT group 3 1D, CCITT group 3 2D, CCITT group 4, Packbits, and ZLib (deflate).
Tools supporting these formats include log bitmaps (Striplogs menu items), draped / floating / panel bitmaps (Imagery menu items), bitmaps in map backgrounds (Map menu tools), logos in RockPlot3D, and more.
