Bitmaps
In Computer Graphics, a bitmap or pixelmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits. Now, along with pixelmap, it commonly refers to the similar concept of a spatially mapped array of pixels. Raster images in general may be referred to as bitmaps or pixelmaps, whether synthetic or photographic, in files or in memory.
