Graphic formats overview
In addition to key points, the vector file usually indicates the line segment's starting point, direction, and length. In MIPAV you can create geometrically shaped contours to indicate VOIs. You can then store the VOIs in a vector formatted file. MIPAV can read and generate several vector-formatted file types including the MIPAV lookup table (LUT), MIPAV MTX, MIPAV Graphics Plot (PLT), and MIPAV VOI. See also [MIPAV_AppCSupportedFormats.html#998529 "Understanding MIPAV-related files" on page 594].

[#1330167 1]MIPAV does not save extra information with the AFNI file. It only does the "bare minimum." [#1330214 2]AVIs are saved with encoding options: run-length, MPEG, MPEG-4, QuickTime. However, MIPAV requires the Java Media Framework, which is installed with MIPAV.
