Graphics formats {was Searching For A Pattern: Supperman...
I finally found a server that carried the binary.
For those who didn't see the binary and are still curious, this is the pattern in question: http://wizard.dyndns.org/graphics/Super-logo.png If Dave is still reading, I'd like to point out that if you follow this pattern "verbatim," this piece will break at the narrow point: http://wizard.dyndns.org/graphics/Super-logo.a.png ----- Given the age of the version of Agent used, that BMP would have been UUencoded to 758732 bytes of bandwidth for the graphic + ~500 bytes for the headers. As the original format *.BMP, it's 550674 bytes. Converting to *.PNG, it only takes up 18797 bytes. For future reference when posting to binary groups or even to web pages, remember that BMP is a microsoft graphics format that's essentially raw bitmapped pixels; no compression. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses a lossless compression algorithm so there's absolutely no loss in detail yet the PNG file can be as little as... well, the example above reduces the filesize by a factor of more than 29! That's really significant for people on dialup and/or metered access. PNG is the best format for patterns, line drawings, diagrams, etc. where you need the smallest filesize while retaining full detail. Now for a real puzzler, Super-logo.a.png is actually smaller than Super-logo.png. -- ☯☯ |
