Graphics

What is a bitmapped graphic?

Is when a graphic is represented by a 2-D array of pixel with one or more bits per pixel to represent colour

The resolution of the graphic determine the quality..?

of a graphic

smaller pixels..?

higher resoultion, better quality

as resolution increases, the file size will too meaning?

increased storage requirements and slower transmisson times

What does true colour?

24 bits of colour, every colour can represented

What are the advantages of bitmapped graphics?

Can be edited at pixel level, not restricted to mathematical objects, good for editing photographs

what are some disadvantages of bitmapped graphics?

-large file size, no seperating objects/no layering, loss of quality when scale

What are vector graphics?

vector graphics is represented as objects with attributes

what are some examples of vector graphics?

rectangle, elispe, polygon, line

the file size increases as..?

the complexity of graphics increase

more object added=

more data stored(because attributes have to be stored for each shape)

advantages of vector graphics?

able to layer and separate shapes, edit individual objects, resolution idependent

what are some disadvantages?

cannot edit individual pixels, images are not as realistic
