Character-based graphics

See Character encoding for details of character sets, some of which include graphical or line-and-box-drawing characters.

Colors

(Profiles, color spaces, palettes, swatches)

Compression

Special-purpose compression algorithms and formats that may be used in multiple image file formats.

See also Compression, for general-purpose algorithms.

Icon, Cursor, and Avatar files

(Formats often used for icons, cursors, avatars, thumbnails, etc.)

Metadata Formats

Online/Networked Formats

(while any image format can be used online and through a network, these are specifically designed to be accessed remotely via an API)

Programming languages

(Graphic-specific programming languages)

Raster Graphics Formats

Skins / Themes

(Used to give custom styles, appearances, and themes to software; might be bundled with Icon, Cursor, and Avatar files consistent with the theme)

Software

(Applications, utilities, libraries, and APIs for graphic manipulation)

Refer to Graphics software.

Vector Graphics Formats

(Including most "metafile" formats. Vector formats often support embedded raster images, and other objects that aren't actually vectors.)
