Both formats, briefly
SVGIN
An SVG stores a drawing as instructions rather than a grid of pixels. Lines, curves and fills are redrawn at whatever size the page asks for, so one file looks sharp as a 16 pixel icon and as a printed poster. That makes it the right pick for logos, icons, charts and interface graphics. The contents are XML, so you can edit an SVG in a text editor and style or animate it with CSS. Photographs are the one thing it handles badly.
XBMOUT
An XBM file is an image written as C source code: an array of bytes with the width and height defined above it. That was the point in the X Window System, where a cursor or icon could be compiled straight into a program. It is monochrome and uncompressed, so it only makes sense for small, simple graphics. You still find XBM in Unix desktop source trees and in embedded projects that need a bitmap baked into the binary.
