What is an OFIG file?

OFIG files mostly belong to GNU Octave. OFIG files are Octave figure files that store plotting data used in GNU Octave.
This file captures the structure of a figure, including axes, lines, labels, and other graphical elements.
Key details summarized by FilExt.com include:

Structured data for scientific plots

Editable properties for reloading and modifying figures

Metadata that defines the graphical layout

FilExt.com tips: You can open an OFIG file using GNU Octave's built-in commands. For example, load the file within Octave and use the figure viewer to inspect and edit the plot. More details are available on the GNU Octave website.

How to open an OFIG file

You need a suitable software like GNU Octave to open an OFIG file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your OFIG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OFIG file directly in the browser:.

GNU Octave
An *.OFIG file is an Octave figure file, containing data for plots and visualizations created within the Octave environment. It stores information about plot elements, such as lines, axes, labels, and annotations, enabling users to save and reload their graphical work. The internal structure of *.OFIG files is specific to Octave and may not be directly compatible with other plotting software. This file format is classified as Data file.

OFIG file format:

To find out what program is needed to open OFIG files, you need to determine the file format. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the OFIG files looks like this:

The OFIG file extension is mainly used by one program with a specific format. But the following two file formats are common:

98% of all OFIG files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "Octave-1-L" at the beginning. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. OFIG files can be up to 70 MB in size, but are often around 43 KB - 700 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The files contain the following words: Octave-1-L, figure, handle, properties, s_oct40, scalar, scalar struct, sq_string, type, pickableparts and scalar struct5. The file name untitled.ofig is characteristic of these files. Files like these have the following tags: grafica, graph, grafico, ejercicio, result, plot and aufgabe.

All other OFIG files (2%) have no consistent format. If you want to find out what your OFIG file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

Update your software that should actually open figure files. Because only the current version supports the latest OFIG file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available GNU Octave update.
To make sure that your OFIG file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
