The term "pixmap" is short for "pixel map. A pixmap stores and
displays a graphical image as a rectangular array of pixel color
values.
while a pixmap that uses only a single bit to denote the color
of each pixel is often referred to as a bitmap. Bitmap is
also sometimes used to refer to any pixmap.

What is the difference between vector and bitmap graphics?
Difference between a vector and bitmap graphics is that a vector
is a format of a drawing whereas bitmap is a format of a photo. *
the advantages of a vector is that the drawing can be stretched to
any size without ruining the quality and bitmap is faster to
display .Bitmap graphics as being stored in a literal fashion, then
Vector Graphics, stored representative are their opposites.

What is the difference between bitmap image vector image?
Vector graphics are simple geometric shapes which can be combined to create more complicated graphics. When you blow up a vector graphic, the edges of each object within the graphic stay smooth and clean, which means its width and height can be increased or decreased (scaled) without the loss of quality. This makes vector graphics ideal for logos, sign making, maps, animations and graphic design in general, an example could be the Google logo. They are comprised of vectors, or paths (points connected by lines or curves) instead of dots.Bitmap images (raster images) are images made up of pixels which are structured in a grid. Pixels are picture elements, tiny squares of individual colour that come together and make up what you see. Because bitmaps are made of squares of colour, some of which are too small to see, it's impossible to increase their size without sacrificing image quality: this is called pixilation. As there can be vast amounts of pixels and are stored as individuals, the file sizes are much bigger than vector graphs, as they are individual images.

What makes an image a bitmap or a JPEG?
The distinction between a Jpeg or a bitmap is the format in
which the image is saved. The difference is due to the algorithm
used to record and store the data. Most graphics programs and
scanner software are capable of saving files in either format, or
converting from one to another.

What are similarities between a vectorgraphic and a bitmap immage?
Photoshop can not save vector image but you can work with vector
shapes inside Photoshop. There are many similarities, you can add
elements to image like type, shape, change color... big difference
is that you can not enlarge bitmap image without losing
quality.

Whats the difference between a JPEG and bmp images?
JPEG and BMP image types use different programs and algorithms
to record and store the data. The BMP (bitmap) is the older format
while the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format is more
recent.
One difference between a JPEG and a BMP file is that the bitmap
file is larger in size. This is due to the JPEG file being
compressed which in turn causes a loss in picture quality.

What is the difference between Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photo Shop how can i purshase it from market what will be theirs cost?
There are two fundamentally different types of graphics image -
Vector images and Bitmap images.
Vector images are made up of lines, polygons etc. Bitmap images
are made up of pixels of color.
The type of package used depends on the type of image you're
trying to work with. Whilst there is some overlap between the two,
ie you can create some vector artwork in photoshop and you can do
some minimal bitmap work in illustrator, in essence illustrator is
a vector graphics package where you draw your image with lines etc.
Photoshop is a fully featured bitmap editing package

The difference between images and graphics?
The words "image" and "graphic" are somewhat
interchangeable.
In many cases, "image" is used to refer to a raster or bitmap file,
such as a photograph, whereas "graphic" often refers to a
vector-based illustration.
The terms are usually very generic, and should be accompanied by
more descriptive terms such as "bitmap", "raster", or "vector" to
avoid confusion.
