Description of the STD extension
The STD extension is primarily associated with a stereolithography format for 3D modeling, prototyping, and use in 3D printers. The STL format was developed by Albert Consulting Group (now Albert-Battaglin Consulting Group) for 3D systems in 1987 to promote 3D CAD models for stereolithography hardware (SLA) machines.
STD file only describes the surface geometry of a 3D object without representing color, texture, or other CAD model attributes. It exists in both binary and ASCII format (so file sizes can vary a lot) and it’s likely that many variations of the format exist and have been created over the years. STL files created in text format can be opened with Notepad or any other text editor.
Other programs related to the STD extension
The STD extension is a subtitle file that is used for video playback and authoring applications and was developed by Spruce Technologies. The STD format allows you to configure the most common subtitle settings. It supports both the single file-based method and the graphical method, and even allows you to use both methods in the same file. STD format files can be saved either as text files or RTF format files. You must use RTF files if the text contains Unicode characters.
The simplest example of an STD file:
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 65//These subtitles are for scene 1.
00:00:12:04 , 00:00:14:12 , Text
STD files contain commands, comments, and entries. Commands begin with a dollar sign ($) and can specify font size, font name, color, alignment, image file path, and other subtitle properties. Comments are delimited by “//” characters. Recordings contain subtitle time and text.
NOTE: As far As how to open STD files, STD subtitles are sometimes referred to as EBU subtitles because the standard was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (abbr. EBU for European Broadcasting Union).
The.STL extension is the game file for SuperTux, a 2D arcade game similar to Super Mario Bros. The game was created by Bill Kendrick and is currently being developed by the SuperTux Development Team. SuperTux runs on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows; also ported to FreeBSD, BeOS, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Symbian OS, SdiOS, and MotoMagx.
STD files are saved in a text format and define the features of the level, such as the location of the enemy unit, the position of the blocks, and the time limit; also include a link to the background music and background image for the level. STD files are stored in the installation directory /data/levels/.
