Definition of bitmap
Bitmap - raster image
Definition: A graphics file in which every pixel on screen is represented by a piece of data. (Some audio formats are also described as bitmapped.) Each pixel can be represented by one bit (simple black and white) or up to 32 bits (high-definition colour). A raw image bitmap commonly uses the file extension "bmp". Many image file formats use compressed bitmap variants, often with additional meta-data.
