| # QMK QGF/QFF RLE data schema {#qmk-qp-rle-schema}
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are two "modes" to the RLE algorithm used in both [QGF](quantum_painter_qgf)/[QFF](quantum_painter_qff):
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Non-repeating sections of octets, with associated length of up to `128` octets
 | |
|     * `length` = `marker - 128`
 | |
|     * A corresponding `length` number of octets follow directly after the marker octet
 | |
| * Repeated octet with associated length, with associated length of up to `128`
 | |
|     * `length` = `marker`
 | |
|     * A single octet follows the marker that should be repeated `length` times.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Decoder pseudocode:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| while !EOF
 | |
|     marker = READ_OCTET()
 | |
| 
 | |
|     if marker >= 128
 | |
|         length = marker - 128
 | |
|         for i = 0 ... length-1
 | |
|             c = READ_OCTET()
 | |
|             WRITE_OCTET(c)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     else
 | |
|         length = marker
 | |
|         c = READ_OCTET()
 | |
|         for i = 0 ... length-1
 | |
|             WRITE_OCTET(c)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
