A term used to describe images composed of patterns of dots and displayed on graphics computer screens.
Images that are formed from pixels and each pixel being a shade of gray or another color.
A bit-mapped display is one in which the screen display (characters and/or graphics and/or image) is generated or retrieved from a full representation in memory (the bit map). The bit map contains a bit for each point of the screen display which enables high resolution screens to be displayed rapidly and accurately, but at the expense of a lot of memory (e.g., a VGA/2 screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels needs about 100KBytes of memory). Often used synonymously with APA.
a computer screen (and resulting images) where each individual pixel can be turned on or off, used for showing various typefaces and graphics. The more bits (or dots); per square inch, the higher the resolution, and the easier to read and see detail.
the Paint graphics mode describes an image made of pixels where the pixel is either on (black) or off (white).
Refers to an image that has been projected to a screen based on binary bits.
Images formed from pixels with each pixel a shade of gray or color. Using 24-bit color, each pixel can be set to any one of 16 million colors.
images represent the artwork as a grid of colored dots called Pixels. Paint and image-editing programs such as Painter and Photoshop are bit-mapped images. (See also: Rasterize and Vector Graphics)
