Xfig at a glance

Xfig

Xfig began in 1985 and accumulated decades of maintenance and export tooling, which made the .fig format a durable bridge between interactive diagram editing on Unix systems and downstream conversion to PostScript, PDF, and other outputs.

RWL at a glance

RWL

Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.
