| Description | A type of data compression, common in bitmapped graphics. It works by recording the value of a pixel and the number of times it is repeated - SO for three blue pixels in a row, instead of recording blue-blue-blue, RLE instead records blue-3, hence saving a character. RLE is most effective on images with large regions of flat colour. |
