Rammebitmap
Rammebitmap is a compact bitmap data format and memory layout designed for memory-constrained environments such as embedded systems and handheld devices. The name blends RAM and bitmap, signaling its emphasis on minimizing in-RAM footprint while keeping rendering straightforward.
Technical design: A rammebitmap image consists of a small header followed by per-scanline encoded data. The
Data layout: The combination of per-line encoding and a row-offset table allows decoding line by line with
History and usage: Rammebitmap originated in the Ramme graphics initiative during the mid-2010s as an alternative
Advantages and limitations: The approach reduces RAM usage for images with large uniform regions and simple
