Float and Integer Numbers
(.FIN)
File Format Specification
version 1
|
FIN is a file format for storing a grid of
floating point
and integer numbers.
Each number has multiple bits.
This format can store numeric data,
color images, and grayscale images.
Monochrome images and bit masks are not supported.
For monochrome images and bit masks use the
BIP file format.
FIN files
use the “.fin” file name extension.
The numbers in a FIN file must all be of the same type.
For example, if the numbers are 4-byte
integers, all of the numbers stored in the FIN file
must be 4-byte integers.

“Notice the denser packing of the
smaller numbers…with the exponent
supplying progressive magnification
as it increases.”
