You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .styk. Files with the file extension .styk can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .styk files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .styk file?
A Stykz stick figure file is generally classified as a data file, but these Stykz stick figure files are in fact digital image files embedded with animated 2D functionalities. The Stykz software, a program developed with a set of integrated features used in developing 2D stick figure objects modeled as stick figures or characters, is used to create and edit the content of these Stykz stick figure files, which in turn can modify the visual appearance and animated sequences implemetned into the 2D stick figure animation. Multiple Stykz stick figure files can be used to create an animated 2D stick figure sequence with longer timelines. These Stykz stick figure files are integrated with digital image compilation specifications to allow the 2D objects and elements entered into a Stykz stick figure model development project to be configured with moving points which can be manipulated to simulate animated movement of the 2D stick figure. These 2D stick figure animations are also called Stykz figure animations. Group collaboaration is made possible for the development of these Stykz stick figure models through the Library palette integrated into the Stykz application.

Among its features are Tools like Select tool used in moving figures and pivoting segments around the nodes. Subselect tool allows user to pick individual segments and change their properties, another is PolyFill that fills in areas of a stick figure by drawing a polygon attached to the nodes. Add line and add circle tools let user draw new lines and circle in an existing figure. It also has a figure manipulation feature that allows rotating, scaling, and moving of figures.

It supports Windows XP/OS, also available in Macintosh while version for Linux is still under development.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .styk files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .styk. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
