Haiku Vector Icon Format Haiku Vector Icon Format Haiku Vector Icon Format (HVIF) is a vector storage format designed to store icons, specifically for Haiku. Haiku developers commonly agreed that Haiku could not be released with original BeOS R5 icons. Since Haiku needed its own artwork anyway, it was thought that icons could switch to vectors graphics from traditional BeOS bitmaps. In July 2006 Haiku developer Stephan Aßmus introduced Icon-O-Matic, the icon editor of Haiku, and a storage format with a rendering engine based on Anti-Grain Geometry. After a few days of discussion, Aßmus announced a contest to determine an icon theme for Haiku.
