Bitmap Graphics

1. Bitmap Graphics

2. Bitmap Graphics Pictures are made up of little dots called pixels. The colour of each dot is saved in binary code, for example: White – 0000 Blue – 0001 Green – 1000 Red - 1100

3. Editing Editing can be done at pixel level, each individual dot can be edited. Bitmap shapes can be moved and layered on top of each other. Moving layered shapes results in missing parts from the bottom shape.

4. Storage Requirements Bitmapped graphics are stored based on the number of pixels used in the picture, this is called Resolution. The greater the number of pixels used, the higher the resolution of the picture. The higher the resolution, the more space required for storage.
