A bitmap picture is made up of dots (pixels). The more dots, the better the quality (resolution). A bitmap will scale down in size OK. A bitmap will not scale up and retain the quality. Typical types of bitmap files are jpg gif bmp png tif psd. Read more about bitmap and vector graphics
A graphic image (picture) formed by a pattern of pixels. Also called a raster graphic.
A bitmap graphic is a pixel-based model for displaying images on computer screens. A bitmap graphic contains data about the color and coordinates of each pixel that needs to be triggered on the computer screen. Strictly speaking bitmap graphics ar not bitmaps, but pixelmaps. Bitmap graphic files are typically huge, so for better network transport they are compressed. The most typical bitmap compression methods on the Web are GIF, JPEG and PNG. Another method for displaying images on computer screens is vector graphics.
an image that is represented by a binary code that specifies the state of each individual pixel displayed on a computer screen
a pixel-based model for displaying images on display units such as computer and TV screens
image made up of pixels (or tiny dots).
Representation of a document as an image file in digital form. For black and white images, each bit represents one unit of information. Logical 1 represents black and logical 0 represents white (bitonal). This allocation originates in printing where 1 = true = print black. Other allocations also exist. Gray-level and color information are represented in the same way, whereby the gray or color value of a pixel is defined by several bitmaps.
A graphic that is stored as a row-by-row listing of every pixel in the graphic, along with each pixel's color.
A graphic imange which is composed of a pattern of dots. The individual dots are stored as data on a computer. An example of an animation that is a bitmap graphic is a GIF animation.
A graphics format that creates an image using an array of pixels of different colors and shades. See vector graphic, pixel.
