[[Age of Empires Graphics File]]s are a way of storing graphics for the PC game Age of Empires. They are usually found archived inside of another file like a [[Data Resource File]]. They can store multiple frames for animation, and simple chroma keying so that graphics can be drawn with different colors to represent different teams within the game.

 ! Description
 |-
-| 0x00
+| <code>0x00</code>
 | Color list
-| >>2
+| <code>&gt;&gt;2</code>
 | An array of palette indices. This is about as bitmap as it gets in SLPs.
 |-
-| 0x01
+| <code>0x01</code>
 | Skip
-| >>2 or next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;2 or next</code>
 | The specified number of pixels are transparent.
 |-
-| 0x02
+| <code>0x02</code>
 | Big color list
-| >>4 * 256 and next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 * 256 and next</code>
 | An array of palette indexes. Supports a greater number of pixels than the above color list.
 |-
-| 0x03
+| <code>0x03</code>
 | Big skip
-| >>4 * 256 and next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 * 256 and next</code>
 | The specified number of pixels are transparent. Supports a greater number of pixels than the above skip.
 |-
-| 0x06
+| <code>0x06</code>
 | Player color list
-| >>4 or next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 or next</code>
 | An array of player color indexes. The actual palette index is given by adding ([player number] * 16) + 16 to these values.
 |-
-| 0x07
+| <code>0x07</code>
 | Fill
-| >>4 or next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 or next</code>
 | Fills the specified number of pixels with the following palette index.
 |-
-| 0x0A
+| <code>0x0A</code>
 | Player color fill
-| >>4 or next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 or next</code>
 | Same as above, but using the player color formula (see Player color list).
 |-
-| 0x0B
+| <code>0x0B</code>
 | Shadow transparent
-| >>4 or next
+| <code>&gt;&gt;4 or next</code>
 | Specifies the shadow for a unit, but most SLPs do not use this.
 |-
-| 0x0E
+| <code>0x0E</code>
 | Shadow player
-| next
+| <code>next</code>
 | Unknown.
 |-
-| 0x0F
+| <code>0x0F</code>
 | End of row
-| 0
+| <code>0</code>
 | Specifies the end of commands for this row.
 |-
-| 0x4E
+| <code>0x4E</code>
 | Outline
-| 1
+| <code>1</code>
 | When normally drawing a unit, this single pixel acts normally. When the unit is behind something, this pixel is replaced with the player color.
 |-
-| 0x5E
+| <code>0x5E</code>
 | Outline span
-| next
+| <code>next</code>
 | Same function as above, but supports multiple pixels.
