Revision as of 02:27, 20 March 2015
Early versions of the PrintMaster desktop publishing software stored clip art in a pair of files: an .SDR file containing names, and an .SHP file containing graphics. The file formats are very similar to those used by The Print Shop.
A related(?) program named NewsMaster also used .SDR and .SHP files, and added an .SDX index file.
Format
SHP files apparently consist of a sequence of image segments. Each segment has a 4-byte header that includes the height and width, followed by the image data, followed by a 1-byte trailer.
