Any art that is represented as a solid without screens or halftones.

Perfect for use either in print or on the web, these images can be emailed to you on whatever platform and graphics suite is currently used. The best resolution for lineart is 1200 ppi. Halftoning is the process of turning continuous tone grayscale or color images into a series of dots for printing that fool the eye. Learn the ins and outs of halftones, screens, traditional and digital halftoning techniques.

Illustrations composed of black and white with no shades of gray.

A drawing that contains only black and white with no shades of gray.

Copy that can be reproduced without using a screen, such as a pen and ink drawing.

Black and white art with no grey values.

Art that is made up of continuous lines such as pen & ink drawings or typefaces. There is no tonal difference from one area to another.

Black and white artwork that can be reproduced as is.

black artwork on a white background suitable for reproduction.

Illustrations composed only of solid black lines.

1 bit black and white (bitmapped), where there are only two colors possible in your image. Normal line art may consist of a diagram or line drawing. Diagonal lines viewed onscreen have jagged edges due to the screen's low resolution.

Images consisting of solid black lines and white, with no continuous tones.

An image comprised of solid black and white - no gray tones, as opposed to a grayscale image.

High contrast black & white copy not requiring a halftone.

Black and white artwork such as pen-and-ink or pencil drawings, etchings or engravings.

Artwork created with solid black lines free from wash or diluted tones. It employs a process of selection, an immediacy that allows you to instantly record and interpret what you see or imagine. In line art, every mark you make reflects the progression of your drawing and often adds to its interest and vitality. Drawing is used as a vital source of communication.

An illustration suitable for reproduction without using a halftone, such as pen and ink drawing.

art composed of lines, as opposed to halftones or photographs. Line art is usually saved as a bitmap eps document with a typical resolution of 600dpi to 1200dpi.

() A pictoral drawing or diagram with no continuous tone. Line only.

Any illustration material that contains no halftone, continuous tone, or tint ed images. Pen-and-ink drawings are line art.

Line Art consists of non-shaded or non-screened black and white images. Line art cannot be continuous tone imagery such as photographs or pencil sketches.

Black and white image or type with no gradation of tones.

A drawing rendered in only 100% black and 100% white, with no gray areas. ( e.g. black lines drawn on white substrate or a vector graphic produced by a computer drawing, CAD or illustration application.) Line art as a genre may have been recognized due to the possibility of displaying it on vector graphics computer displays, as opposed to non-line-art which is more easily displayed on raster graphics displays. Line art is ammenable to various computer internal-representations which require significantly less computer memory than non-line-art. For instance, a line of line art may be stored solely as the two end-points of the line, whereas in non-line-art all the points along a given line may have to be stored.

An image having only two grey scale values, black and white, as opposed to a continuous tone image which has many grey scale values. Line art images are digitized in 1-bit to capture black and white for any one pixel.

An illustration in which the effect is obtained by the use of lines or combinations of lines.

Image that is a solid color (continuous tone), no shades of gray

Black and white artwork that does not contain any halftone screens.

A type of single-bit image that is just purely black and white, such as a pencil or ink sketch. Line art may also include one-color images, such as mechanical blueprints or drawings.

Drawings, illustrations, or graphics that contain solids and lines only; see black & white graphic.

One-color illustrations that can be printed without halftones.

A diagram which consists only of lines and text, requiring no complex grey level or colour shading. Line chart One of the commonest forms of graph, particularly favoured by scientists, with data points displayed against X and Y axes and all the points connected with a single line. The points themselves need not be shown. Alternatively, all the data points may be shown and a line dtawn which doesn't necessarily go through them all but which gives a reasonable 'best fit' to them all.

A picture such as a pen and ink drawing that contains only black & white lines, dots, or solids. In order to digitize a line art original, a scanner only needs to register whether a pixel is turned on (black) or off (white). The term line art is used to describe drawings containing flat colors without tonal variation. Compare with contone.

Black and white illustration with no continuous tones or grays.

Single colour logos, drawings or diagrams that consist of only black and white without intermediate greyscale information. See also 1-bit Black & White Bitmap.

Term for artwork composed of lines only with no tone.

Illustrations or copy made up of solid black or white with no screened shadings.

Black-and-white illustration of reproduction quality.

artwork entirely in black on white with no intermediary tones and thus not requiring halftone reproduction.

A type of graphic consisting entirely of lines, without any shading.

Images containing on black and white pixels. Also known as bilevel images.

Any artwork or type in which there are no gray tones; all image areas are either black or white. Shading may be accomplished by such techniques as stippling or cross-hatching. Line art can be reproduced without using a halftone screen.

Artwork comprised of only black and white components with no continuous tones.

black-and-white artwork with no gray areas. Pen-and-ink drawings are line art, and most graphic images produced with desktop publishing graphics programs can be treated as line art. For printing purposes, positive halftones can be handled as line art.

Artwork made of solid blacks and whites, with no tonal (gray) values.

illustrations or graphics consisting of graphic lines without shading or toning.

Images typically consisting only of black and white lines.

Any image composed of lines and text, such as graphs, charts, and illustrations. Best saved in a vector format (such as EPS).

Black and white art, usually some type of line drawing (such as that produced by pen and ink).

Black and white illustration, with no continuous tones (or greys).

Black and white illustration that meets reproduction requirements.

A drawing composed of lines.

1) Single colour diagrams or drawings; 2) An image that requires sharp edges and high contrast between areas of the image that have ink and those areas that do not have ink. These images require a higher resolution to create the sharpness that is necessary.
