For Bitmap we have terms and definitions in 15 topics. The topics are Computer Graphics, Computer Technology, DTV, DVD, DVD and CD, Hunting, Image Editing, Internet, Newton, Photography, Printers, Publishing, Real Time 3D, Scanner and Technology.

Bitmap (Computer Graphics)

A Bitmap is a pixel by pixel image.

Bitmap (Computer Technology)

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.

Bitmap (DTV)

2-dimensional array of pixels representing video and graphics.

Bitmap (DVD)

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.

Bitmap (DVD and CD)

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.

Bitmap (Hunting)

Albie Slang term for an albacore

Bitmap (Image Editing)

Another term for a line-art scan file or scanner setting. Refers to the pattern (map) of bits that are either black or white.

Bitmap (Internet)

A pattern of pixels used to display an image.

Bitmap (Newton)

A set of bits in the Newton's memory that represent the pixels of a picture. Source: NUIG

Bitmap (Photography)

The method of storing information that maps an image pixel, bit by bit. There are many bitmapped file formats, .bmp, .pcx, .pict, .pict-2, tiff, .tiff, .gif (89a), and so on. Most image files are bit mapped. This type of file gives you the jaggies, when examined closely you can see the line of pixels that create edges. Bitmap images are used by all computers. The desktop or screen information for all Windows machines uses .bmp files, while the Macintosh uses pict files

Bitmap (Printers)

File in which every pixel on screen is represented by a piece of data in memory, usually graphics, although some audio formats are described as bitmapped as well. As opposed to a vector image, in which only a description of the image is stored.

Bitmap (Publishing)

An grid of pixels assigned a color and X and Y locations. Bitmap images are resolution dependent, unlike vector graphics (which are resolution independent). Bitmap graphics are also known as raster images.

Bitmap (Real Time 3D)

Another name for a texture.

Bitmap (Scanner)

An image formed by rectangular grid of picture elements (pixels). The computer assigns a value to each pixel, from one bit of information (indicating black or white) to 24 bits per pixel (for full-color computer displays), to as many as 64 bits per pixel for some types of full-color images. A bitmap is an image defined by a collection of dots, as opposed to a vector image, which is defined by mathematical formulas.

Bitmap (Technology)

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.
