in general, a digital raster image; sometimes limited to a raster image with only two color values (monochrome), typically black and white

An electronic image file mapped on a grid (raster) of small squares called pixels. Each pixel is assigned a specific location and color. Bitmap files are commonly used for photographs.

An image consisting of a set of pixels or dots, each capable of different values or colours. Observation astronomical data often consists of bitmaps stored in a FITS file. Unlike Vector Graphics, bitmaps are often ``jaggy'' when scaled.

A graphic image composed of individual pixels, also called a raster graphic. In practice, the term 'bitmap' usually refers to uncompressed images.

A binary representation of an image or font consisting of rows and columns of dots.. The braoder the color spectrum, the more bits are required for each pixel. For simple monochrome images, one bit is sufficient to represent each dot, but for colors and shades of gray, each dot requires more than one bit of data, hence "64-bit" graphics.

A representation, consisting of rows and columns of dots, of a graphics image in computer memory. The value of each dot (whether it is filled in or not) is stored in one or more bits of data. For simple monochrome images, one bit is sufficient to represent each dot, but for colors and shades of gray, each dot requires more than one bit of data. The more bits used to represent a dot, the more colors and shades of gray that can be represented.

A set of bits that represents a graphic image, with each bit or group of bits corresponding to a pixel in the image.

An image constructed of rows of pixels (or bits).

An array of pixel data that define a character or image. An image consisting of a grid of square dots: a raster.

A computerized image made up of dots and pixels. While satisfactory for pixel-based screen displays, bitmap images give a jagged appearance on paper or film. For high-quality print output, bitmap images must be translated to raster images.

A stored image made up of dots. The images are mapped onto the display directly from corresponding bits in memory. There is also a specific Window-based file format call "bitmap" or "BMP" which is an eponym for the type of file it is. However, other file formats such as JPG, TIF, GIF, etc. can also be bitmaps, since they are also comprised of a series of dots.

Patterns of dots blended together to form pictures. Monochrome bitmaps are used when scanning and engraving line art or camera ready black and white images. Grayscale bitmaps are used for scanning and engraving photographs. Color bitmaps are not recommended for laser engraving.

Most images you see on your computer are composed of bitmaps. A bitmap is a ...

An image format made up of pixels arranged in rows.

A method of storing graphics information in memory in which a bit devoted to each pixel (picture element) on screen indicates whether that pixel is on or off. A bit map contains a bit for each point or dot on a video display screen and allows for fine resolution because any point or pixel on-screen can be addressed. A greater number of bits can be used to describe each pixel's colour, intensity, and other display characteristics. An image stored as a pattern of dots.

An image or other collection of data represented as an array of bits.In bitmap graphics, an image is displayed on the screen as a collection of tiny squares called pixels, which together form a pattern.Each pixel in the image corresponds with one or more bits; the number of bits per pixel determines how many shades of gray or colors can be displayed.

A data file or structure which corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a computer display, usually in the same format as it would be stored in the display's video memory. A bitmap is characterized by the width and height of the image it represents. A bitmap may also represent a colored image, in which case more than one bit will be used to represent each pixel. Computer graphics that treat images as collections of dots rather than as shapes, or objects, may be described as bitmapped graphics or raster graphics. Contrast with vector graphics.

A bitmap is a simplistic representation of an image on a computer, simply indicating whether or not pixels are on or off, and sometimes indicating their color. Often fonts are represented as bitmaps. The term "pixmap" is sometimes used similarly; typically when a distinction is made, pixmap refers to color images and bitmap refers to monochrome images.

A 2D digital image where every pixel expresses a level of color.

An image stored as a pattern of dots, such as Windows Wallpaper files.

Type of graphic composed of pixels in a grid. Each pixel or "bit" contains color information for the image. Bitmap graphics formats have a fixed resolution. Resizing a bitmap graphic can result in distortion and jaggies.

A type of image file format, bitmap refers to the rows and columns of dots that make up a digital photo image. Each dot is stored in at least one bit of data.

Windows pixel map.

X pixel map with bit depth equal to one. X pixel maps of bit depth not equal to one are called pixmaps.

A map of dots or bits. Graphics on your computer are composed of bitmaps, which look like a picture when viewed at their original size. However, should you enlarge the image, you would see that it is, in fact, made up of very small dots. Common bitmap file types include BMP (bitmap format), JPEG, GIF, PICT, PCX, and TIFF.

An image made of a two-dimensional grid of pixels. Each frame of digital video can be considered a bitmap, although some color information is usually shared by more than one pixel.

The standard graphics file format used on Windows-compatible computers. Bitmaps support 24-bit color and can be saved for use on Windows or OS/2.

An image stored in a pixel-by-pixel fashion. Continuous tone images are stored in this format. Sometimes used to denote an image composed solely of black and white, in which each pixel is either on or off (each pixel being represented by 0 or 1, in computer terms a bit).

The term "bitmap" has two distinct meanings: 1) It can refer to an image's colour mode. A bitmap is a black and white image - with no intermediate shades of grey. (See image below, far right). Colour Modes CMYK (32-bit) RGB (24-bit) Greyscale (8-bit) Bitmap (1-bit) 2) A bitmap is also an image type. A bitmap image is made up of pixels and its clarity depends on the resolution and size at which it is printed. (See our File Formats page for more information.) The colour mode of a bitmap image can be Bitmap (1-bit), Grayscale (8-bit), Index (8-bit), RGB (24-bit), or CMYK (32-bit) color mode. The higher the "bit depth", the larger the file size will be. (E.g. the file size of an RGB or CMYK image is larger than that of a greyscale image). A bitmap image can also be called a raster image.

A Windows format for storing graphics in an uncompressed manner.

An electronic image made of dots that are stored as black or white.

Where data is represented in the form of individual bit s. These individual bits make up the file. A simple bitmap image is made up of tiny little parts called pixel s. Bitmap files are most commonly used as graphics or pictures. Bitmap Files have a file extension of BMP. Below is an example where the Number 2 has been removed from a picture and magnified several times to show how it has been constructed.

An image stored in a raster format. Usually the term bitmap implies that the image is limited to exactly two colors (a foreground and a background color). An image that uses more than two colors is usually called a pixmap.

Generally speaking, an array of data bits used for graphic images. Strictly speaking, a pixmap of depth one (capable of 2-color images).

A picture made by a paint program, or able to be edited in such a program. The individual pixels are available for editing. Once items are painted (made in a bitmap program), they are "stuck". You can't move or resize them easily, as you can with items in a vector drawing. Photographs become bitmaps. The formats jpg, gif and bmp are all bitmap formats. Icons are drawn as bitmaps on a 32x32 or 16x16 pixel grid.

A stored image (bit by bit). There are many different file types (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, EPS). When examined closely you can see the line of pixels that create edges.

a computer file that contains color, brightness, and other information about how to display an image.

Bitmap A mapped grid of pixels that can be saved as a file. Both JPEG and GIF are bitmap graphic formats. Currently, the only other way to store an image is as a vector graphic. You can't easily scale bitmap images, but you can control every single pixel and thus achieve many effects impossible in vector graphics. Conversely, vector formats offer advantages of scalability and lower bandwidth requirements. When you compress a bitmapped image, you remove some of the visual information. To bypass this, the portable network graphics format (or PNG, pronounced "ping") was designed to store a single bitmap image for transmittal over computer networks without losing this data. Different bitmap formats have different pros and cons.

A graphics format in which an image is comprised of rasterized pixels. Common bitmap image formats are: gif, jpeg, tiff, bmp and PICT.

An image made up of dots, or pixels. Refers to a raster image, in which the image consists of rows or pixels rather than vector coordinates.

A bitmap is a graphic  file that is made up of square dots (pixels). Scaling these images to larger sizes  result in these pixels becoming  larger which can make the image look blocky with jagged edges..

Any situation in which a single location in memory and a single pixel correspond. Usually applies to screen or printer output. .BMP files are bitmapped graphics files.

An image made up of a grid of pixels or printed dots (bits), with the colour of each pixel logged on a table (map)

A series of individual dots or pixels that define graphics. On a color or black-and-white system, a bitmap defines a character or an image by turning each pixel on or off.

Also called raster images. Bitmap images use a grid (the bitmap or raster) of small squares known as pixels to represent images. Each pixel is assigned a specific location and colour value. A bitmap image is resolution dependent. It contains a fixed number of pixels to represent its image data. Bitmap images are used to represent the subtle gradation of shaded and colours in photographs or painted images.

(BMP). A pixel-by-pixel description of an image. Each pixel is a separate element. Also a computer file format.

A representation of images or graphic information that is made up of individual bits of picture information or pixels (picture elements). Bitmaps are computer maps of these bits which can be re-created pixel for pixel when displayed or printed. Bitmap images are not compressed like JPEG, and thus have a much larger file size.

A graphic image, defined by specifying the colors of pixels that make up the picture. Many programs and file types employ bitmaps, including GIF, JPEG, and Photoshop.

Any picture you see on the Web (or hot off a scanner, or on a page created with a desktop publishing application) is called a bitmap. As its name suggests, a bitmap is a map of dots — similar to what you see when you look at a newspaper photo under a strong magnifying glass — that looks like a picture when viewed from a distance. Bitmaps come in many file formats (GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PICT, and PCX, to name a few) and can be read by paint programs and image editors such as Adobe Photoshop. If you zoom in on or try to scale up a bitmap, it will look blocky. Digital pictures that you can easily scale up (such as those created in PostScript, CorelDraw, or CAD formats) are called vector graphics.

1. Originally was the image file using the on or off bit to produce a black or white pixel or dot. This type of image has no color or grayscale. 2. Is the method of storing information that maps an image pixel, bit by bit. These bitmapped file formats include .bmp, .pcx, .pict, .pict2, tiff/.tif, .gif (89a), and so on. Most image files are this type of bit mapped. This type of file gives you stair-stepped edges, the 'jaggies'. When examined closely you can see the line of pixels that creates edges. All computers use Bitmap images. The desktop or screen information for all Windows machines uses .bmp files, while the Macintosh uses pict files.

A bitmap is a mapped array of pixels, examples are jpegs are gifs.

A bitmap image is composed of a grid of dots (also called pixels or bits). All the digital photographs on your hard drive are bitmaps. If you zoom right up close in your software applications you will actually notice the image is composed of squares those are the bits. Bitmap images cannot be easily scaled up in size without loss of quality.

A bitmap is a data file representing a rectangular grid of pixels. It defines a display space and color for each pixel (or “bit”) in the display space. This type of image is known as a “raster graphic.” GIF's and JPEG's are examples of image file types that contain bitmaps. Because a bitmap uses this fixed raster method, it cannot easily be rescaled without losing definition. Conversely, a vector graphic image uses geometrical shapes to represent the image, and can thus be quickly rescaled.

An image defined by pixels, also known as a raster image. A large number of dots (bits) are arranged in a compact grid to produce the image. Bitmap images are low resolution and produce poor image quality in printing.

A pattern used in forming paint-type graphic images or type characters with a series of dots, with a certain number of dots per inch.

A grid of individual dots or pixels that make up the graphic display. Each pixel (or picture element) corresponds to bits in the computer's memory.

Any picture you see on a web page is a bitmap. It is a collection of tiny squares or pixels that, when viewed at a distance, looks like a photograph.

Bitmap (or BMP) is used in the electronic storage of images. Bitmap images are made up of pixels (or "bits") that store color information, which not only shades an object but informs its outlines. A bitmap can be any size, depending on the number of pixels it contains. Its resolution is fixed so it can't be resized or manipulated without losing image clarity. Some popular bitmap formats are JPEG, GIF and TIFF. A common synonym for bitmap is "raster".

A bitmap is a type of graphic made of individual dots called pixels (picture elements).

Graphic images consisting of many tiny cells of numerical computer data. The number of cells determines the resolution of the bitmap, while the value of each cell establishes the density or darkness of each cell and therefore its tone.

A representation of characters or graphics by individual pixels arranged in row and column order. Each pixel can be represented by either one bit (for simple black and white) or up to 32 bits (for high-definition color).

Lots of little dots put together to make a picture. Screens (and paper) are divided into thousands of little bits, each of which can be turned on or off. These little bits are combined to create graphical representations. GIF and JPG files are the most popular kinds of bitmap files on the Net.

An image made up of individual pixels, each with its own values for brightness and color.

An image stored in a raster format. Usually refers to an image limited to two colors (a foreground and a background color). Contrast with pixmap.

Strictly speaking, a bitmap is a resolution-dependent computer file (usually a scan, but perhaps a file from a paint program) in which each pixel contains one bit of tonal information. In practice, people don't limit the use of the term bitmap to single bit per pixel images. See raster.

an image composed of pixels with a fixed resolution

This is a type of graphics format that specifies a number of pixels, and then specifies what color those pixels are. A simplified example: 5 red, 4 green, 3 red, etc. GIF and JPEG files are bitmaps. If an image contains large blocks of solid color, it will take less storage space than an image with a lot of small regions with different colors.

A type of graphic file which organizes image information into a rectangular array of pixels, each of which contains some type of information about the brightness or colour of the image at that spot. This type of file gives you stair stepped edges, the "jaggies". When examined closely you can see the line of pixels that creates edges. Bitmap images are used by all computers. Typical bitmap graphic programs include Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photopaint and Paintshop Pro

A method of storing digital information that maps an image pixel out, bit by bit. The density of the pixels determines how sharp the image resolution will be. Most image files are bit mapped. This type of file gives you the 'jaggies,' stair-stepped edges that become apparent when you zoom in. Bitmap images are compatible with all types of computers. The desktop for all Windows machines uses .bmp files, while the Macintosh uses .pict files. Most Internet publishing and e-mail use JPEG or .JPG and .GIF (89a) formats. Canon PowerShot cameras store their pictures in JPEG format.

A rasterized graphic image (see raster image) formed by a rectangular grid of pixels or dots. blotching: The mottled appearance of a printed image.

Bitmap is a data format in which photos are saved point for point. An advantage of the bitmap format is that displaying it requires very little processing power. A disadvantage, however, is the large amount of memory required for storage. A counterpart to the bitmap format is the vector graphics format. This saves pictures as lines, curves and color areas, and thus only requires information about starting points, endpoints and direction. Therefore, vectors graphics occupy significantly less memory space.

Another image format used for simple graphics. When a file is saved as a BITMAP it takes the following format - "filename.bmp"

A graphic which is defined by specifying the colors of dots or pixels which make up the picture. Also known as raster graphics. Common types of bitmap graphics are GIF, JPEG, Photoshop, PCX, TIFF, Macintosh Paint, Microsoft Paint, BMP, PNG, FAX formats, and TGA. See vector graphics for a different type of graphic and metafiles for a combination of the two types.

An image format used by Windows.

A bitmap is digital graphic that basically consists of a map of dots. Bitmaps include GIF JPEG and other file formats which can be read by such programs as Adobe Photoshop®.

A data presentation format in which every pixel of an image is stored as bits in a file, each "mapped" to a specific area of the total image.

See Raster/Rasterized.

An image format that only defines an image in terms of black and white. A bitmapped image is generally used to define line art because its elements can only be black and white, unlike a grayscale image. In general, a bitmapped image will require a higher resolution to render good quality line art (1000 dpi or higher). A bitmapped image is also known as a 1-bit image.

Arrays of data specifying the color of each pixel in a rectangular image of arbitrary size.

A data file or structure which corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a screen. A bitmap is characterized by the width and height of the image in pixels and the number of bits per pixel which determines the number of shades of grey or colors the pixel can represent. A pixel with 8 bits per color gives a 24 bit image. (8 Bits X 3 colors is 24 bits.) 24 bit color resolution is 16.7 million colors. 16 bit color is 32,000 colors. (Macintosh Standard) 8 bit color is 256 colors. (Windows Standard) 8 bit gray scale is 256 shades of gray 4 bit is 64 colors or gray 2 bit is black and white.

An image that is composed of bits.

An uncompressed image format used within the Windows® operating system; bitmaps offer excellent image quality but often require a large amount of disk space.

An image made up of pixels (tiny dots) on the monitor's screen that is stored as a collection of bit s. It may also be described as a map of the display pixels that make a picture. Each pixel is represented by single or many bits.

the uncompressed image, with file size = H x W x 3 (for color)

Computer image consisting of pixels or halftone dots.

Originally a bitmap was the image file using the on or off bit to produce a black or white pixel or dot. Now it generally refers to a graphic which is defined by specifying the colors of dots or pixels that make up the picture. It is also known as raster graphics. Common types of bitmap graphics are JPEG or TIFF.

A data file or structure which corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a screen, probably in the same format as it would be stored in the display's video memory or maybe as a device independent bitmap. A bitmap is characterised by the width and height of the image in pixels and the number of bits per pixel which determines the number of shades of grey or colours it can represent. A bitmap representing a coloured image (a "pixmap") will usually have pixels with between one and eight bits for each of the red, green, and blue components, though other colour encodings are also used. The green component sometimes has more bits that the other two to cater for the human eye's greater discrimination in this component. Source: Hyperdictionary.

An image formed by a rectangular grid of pixels

a graphic in which each pixel is specified individually. See BMP, pixel-based. Contrast vector-based.

An image type used to indicate black and white only images.

A graphics file which can be added to the report by using “insert picture” (or Ctrl+Alt+P).

See standard format bitmap.

A digital imaging term used to describe the electronic representation in pixels of an image, indicating the position of every possible spot. See Raster Image. Commonly used as a descriptive term for a low-resolution image ( ie, bitmapped) indicating a flawed printed image.

A computerised image made up of dots or pixels. Line art and photographs are often saved as bitmaps. To stop artwork from looking jagged, bitmaps should be saved at a minimum of 1200 dots per inch (dpi).

A computerized image made up of dots or pixels.

An image format - it's a collection of binary digits that make the graphic image.

Any picture you see on a Web page is a bitmap. Bitmaps come in many file formats such as GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PICT, PCX, and DIB (device independent bitmap). They can be read and edited by paint programs and image editors such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. As its name suggests, a bitmap is a map of dots or "pixels". If you zoom in on or try to scale up a bitmap, it will look blocky.

often shortened to .BMP - a type of image file that doesn't use compression and is hence very large in file size

A type of image that is made up of coloured pixels (as opposed to vector pictures that are made up of lines and shapes). Examples of common bitmap file types are .gif, .jpg and .bmp.

An array of bits that contains data that describes the colors found in a rectangular region on the screen (or the rectangular region found on a page of printer paper).
