Bit Planes Grid
(.BIP)
File Format Specification
version 1
|
BIP (Bit Planes Grid) is a file format for storing bits.
The bits can be used as masks, or as monochrome images.
Monochrome images are 2-color
images
(1 bit per pixel, also called
“bilevel”).
Color and grayscale images are not supported.
For color and grayscale images use the
FIN file format.

“bits are the most fundamental
values stored in computers… Since an
unsigned char
is composed of 8 bits, we can store
8 bit values in each character.”
