The Sun Raster image file format is the native bitmap format of the Sun Microsystems UNIX platforms using the SunOS operating system.
This format is capable of storing grayscale and color images. The use of palettes and a simple Run-Length data compression are also supported.

Reader Overview
FME considers a single Sun Raster file to be a dataset. Each dataset contains a single FME raster feature.
Writer Overview
FME considers a dataset to be a folder name. The feature type of each dataset is the filename. The writer distinguishes duplicate output files by appending numbers to the filenames.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data.
For comprehensive information about how FME processes raster data, see Rasters.
SUNRASTER supports rasters with the following structures:
- a Gray8 band
- a Red8 band, a Green8 band, a Blue8 band, and optionally one more band with a UInt8 data type
- a UInt8 band with an RGB24 palette
