Binary-to-text encoding. A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.
STL files contain no scale information, and the units are arbitrary. [8] STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more ...
Midnight Commander using box-drawing characters in a terminal emulator. Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with ...
An SREC format file consists of a series of ASCII text records. The records have the following structure from left to right: Record start - each record begins with an uppercase letter "S" character (ASCII 0x53) which stands for "Start-of-Record". [ 2] Record type - single numeric digit "0" to "9" character (ASCII 0x30 to 0x39), defining the ...
An ASCII comic is a form of webcomic which uses ASCII text to create images. In place of images in a regular comic, ASCII art is used, with the text or dialog usually placed underneath. [ 10] During the 1990s, graphical browsing and variable-width fonts became increasingly popular, leading to a decline in ASCII art.
Braille ASCII. Braille ASCII (or more formally The North American Braille ASCII Code, also known as SimBraille) is a subset of the ASCII character set which uses 64 of the printable ASCII characters to represent all possible dot combinations in six-dot braille. It was developed around 1969 and, despite originally being known as North American ...
PLY is a computer file format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format. It was principally designed to store three-dimensional data from 3D scanners. The data storage format supports a relatively simple description of a single object as a list of nominally flat polygons. A variety of properties can be stored, including ...
The byte-order mark ( BOM) is a particular usage of the special Unicode character code, U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, whose appearance as a magic number at the start of a text stream can signal several things to a program reading the text: [ 1] the byte order, or endianness, of the text stream in the cases of 16- bit and 32-bit encodings;
