What is a pat file and how do I open a pat file?

A PAT file is a bitmap image used as a pattern that can be imported into multiple graphics programs; typically a square file that may be 8x8 pixels to 256x256 pixels in size. It repeats to fill an area with the pattern and is most often used for creating a textured background. PAT files can be opened with many different graphics software packages and are used to fill areas with the repeated patterns, usually to create a textured background. These backgrounds are most notably seen in video games and in desktop backgrounds and screensavers.
Some of the applications that use the PAT file format for pattern files include  Corel PaintShop Photo Pro, CorelDRAW, Train Simulator and Smash Simulator.
