Both formats, briefly
TGAIN
TGA came out of Truevision's early graphics hardware and stayed in use in games and 3D work. It stores 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits per pixel, and the 32 bit version carries a straightforward alpha channel that texture pipelines read without surprises. Compression is optional run length encoding, so decoding stays cheap. Most TGA files you meet are game textures, render output, or source art from older animation tools.
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.
