    PNM (Portable Any Map) is not a single format but a family of simple image formats that includes PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap). These formats were designed to be easily exchanged between different platforms.

    PNM files use a simple text-based or raw binary format that makes them easy to process and generate programmatically. They serve as a convenient intermediate format in image processing pipelines.

    How to open PNM?

    PNM files can be opened with specialized graphics software such as GIMP, ImageMagick, IrfanView, and XnView.

    Many programming libraries like Python's Pillow (PIL), OpenCV, and scientific computing packages support PNM formats due to their simplicity and utility in image processing.

    Applications of PNM

    PNM formats are primarily used in scientific and engineering applications, particularly in image processing research and development environments where simplicity is valued.

    The simple structure of PNM files makes them ideal for testing and developing image processing algorithms, as they can be easily read, written, and manipulated programmatically.

    PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

    Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

    How to open PS?

    PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

    For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.
