Open SBX File

SBX extension files can take on various formats, some of which are listed below:

GLBasic Shoebox

In this first case, the SBX file is a compressed file created by Shoebox, a tool included in the GLBasic software development toolkit.

GLBasic is a commercially licensed BASIC programming language, which can be compiled for various platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, as well as handheld devices such as Apple, Google Android, the old HP WebOS still present on various devices, on all smart TVs, and devices like Palm Pre and HP TouchPad.

The language is designed to be simple and intuitive.

The SBX can store application resources such as graphics, video, music, or data files.

The SBX file can be unzipped by the runtime application to extract specific files.

ESRI

In this section, the SBX file is a file used by the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop GIS mapping software.

ArcGIS Desktop becomes the basis of the ArcGIS platform that allows you to create, analyze, manage and share geographic information, essential in decision making.

The software allows you to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and manage data.

By importing various data formats, powerful analysis tools and workflows can be used to identify spatial patterns, trends, and non-obvious relationships.

The SBX contains a spatial index for a SHP shapefile; it is used to optimize queries and reduce the total access time to information in the form of multidimensional objects.

SBX files are optional when a shapefile is specified. However, shapefiles without spatial indexes may experience slow load and render times.

Adobe Illustrator

In this third case, the SBX file is created by Illustrator, a vector graphics editing program, developed by Adobe.

More about Adobe Illustrator

It is a design and drawing product marketed by Adobe, which is usually sold together with the also popular Photoshop.

Technically the software uses a mathematical algorithm to create shapes from equations, this is something you can customize as a user.

You have the option to create a vector circle with its intuitive tools or enter numerical data to draw it.

Designers use it to create a sketch, with lines or dots, which will then be filled in to have a complete image of high visual quality.

That is why this program is widely used to create storyboards for film scripts, as well as in professional drawing, editorial design or website interfaces.

The SBX file contains proportional kerning data for Asian characters, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, also known as CJK characters.

Thus, SBX accompanies CJK fonts that use built-in proportional spacing.

It is important to add that this SBX file is not intended to be opened manually.

Most CJK characters are monospaced, meaning each character has the same horizontal and vertical length.

However, when the Tsume option is used, the default monospace will change to a proportional width and height for the text.

SeqBox

In the latter case, the SBX file is a type of SeqBox container file, or sequenced box, created by SBXEnc.

SBXEnc is a program used to secure and back up a user's files in case of system crashes, loss of partition information, or any other disk problem.

The SBXEnc software is developed under the GitHub platform.

Thus, the SBX contains a file that has been encoded by the SBXEnc program.

SBX files store information in a collection of blocks, each consisting of a header, a unique file identifier, a checksum, a block sequence number, and a version.

The SBX format is basically a container and is designed to provide a secure archiving solution to protect and store a user's files.
