Module 3.4: Bitmap and Vector Graphics

This set of flashcards covers key concepts and terminology related to bitmap and vector graphics as discussed in Module 3.4.

Bitmap Images

Pixel-based images also known as raster images, made up of pixels that form an image.

Pixel

The smallest unit of a digital image, representing a single point in a bitmap.

Vector Graphics

Graphics created using mathematical equations, allowing for scalability without loss of quality.

Line Art Image

An image consisting of two colors, typically black and white, described using a single bit.

Grayscale Images

Images that consist of various shades of gray along with pure black and white.

Multitone Images

Images composed of shades of two or more colors, commonly seen as duotones.

Full Color Images

Complex bitmap images where each pixel is defined using multiple color spaces.

Bezier Curves

Mathematical curves used in vector graphics to create smooth shapes and lines.

Vectorizing

The process of converting a bitmap image into vector data.

Rasterization

The process of converting vector graphic data into bitmap data.

Screen Capture

A method to capture an image displayed on a screen, saving it as a bitmap.

Resolution

The detail an image holds, crucial for different uses like web pages or printing.
