bitmapped graphics, bitmapped images
A method of representing images, in which the colour of every pixel is recorded in an array. The term bitmap is often used to refer to the image itself, and is contrasted with vector graphics. Bitmapped images are typically complex and have large file sizes; images from a scanner, camera or video source (whether originally digital or not) are all represented by bitmaps in a computer.
