FAQ
FPL to XBM Conversion
What are FPL files?
FPL is a front panel layout file created by front panel design software, used to draw the faceplates of electronic devices, instruments, amplifiers, and enclosures. A file of this type describes a flat panel with its outline, drilled holes, cut-outs for displays, switches, and connectors, and printed labels or scales around controls. The design is a technical drawing with exact dimensions, meant to be printed as a template, sent to a CNC milling or engraving machine, or ordered from a panel manufacturing service. Files with the FPL extension are used by hobbyists, laboratories, and small manufacturers who build their own equipment. The extension is shared with other, unrelated formats, such as playlists and flight plans.
What are XBM files?
The XBM (X BitMap) format represents a monochrome image file usually used for storing cursor and icon bitmaps in the X graphical user interface. XBMs store data as C language data array, so they can be included directly into an application. They are, however, fairly large in size. In the late 1980s the XBM format was superseded by the XPM format for the X Windows System.
