Dictionary:

bit map

  (bĭt'măp')
or bit·map n. Computer Science.

A set of bits that represents a graphic image, with each bit or group of bits corresponding to a pixel in the image.


 
 

Method by which a display space (such as a graphics image file) is defined, including the colour of each of its pixels (or bits). In effect, a bit-map is an array of binary data representing the values of pixels in an image or display. A GIF is an example of a graphics image file that has a bit-map. When the GIF is displayed on a computer monitor, the computer reads the bit-map to determine which colours to use to "paint" the screen. In a bit-mapped font, each character is defined as a pattern of dots in a bit-map.
