Excerpts from Microsoft Computer Dictionary (5th Edn):

bitmap n. A data structure in memory that represents

information in the form of a collection of individual bits.

A bit map is used to represent a bit image. Another use of

a bit map in some systems is the representation of the

blocks of storage on a disk, indicating whether each block

is free (0) or in use (1).

bitmapped graphics n. Computer graphics represented

as arrays of bits in memory that represent the attributes of

the individual pixels in an image (one bit per pixel in a

black-and-white display, multiple bits per pixel in a color

or gray-scale display). Bitmapped graphics are typical of

paint programs, which treat images as collections of dots

rather than as shapes. See also bit map.
