FAQ
GBS to XBM Conversion
What are GBS files?
GBS is a Gerber format, included in a group of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. GBS stands for Gerber Bottom Solder Mask Data and it is an extension created by software that describes, among others, PCB vector images of solder mask. Similar formats include GBR.
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 In the late 1980s the XBM format was superseded by the XPM format for the X Windows System.
