# 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)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
