Bitmap graphics are made up of pixels of different colours whereas vector graphics are made up of objects. Bitmap graphics can be edited by individual pixels whereas vector graphics can be edited by individual objects.

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 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.

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.

What is the differeance between Rasta and vector?
Raster images are defined in pixels. ie At every x,y location, whether it is black or white. Vector images are defined by lines. eg From x,y to X,Y. Any pixel that lies between these points on a white background becomes black. It is easier to convert Vector images to Raster images, rather than the other way. Vector images are sometimes smaller (in data size). eg If the image contains one line, then the amount of data needed to store this is smaller than having to define every pixel in the image regardless of whether it is relevant. Vector images can be scaled smaller and larger without any significant loss of detail. Raster images that have been made smaller lose clarity and cannot then be made larger to improve the quality.
What do positive and negative sign of magnification indicate?
Positive would be more magnification, and negative would be less magnification. * * * * * No. M > 1 indicates that the image is bigger than the pre-image (and on the same side of the centre of magnification); 0 < M < 1 indicates that the image is smaller than the pre-image (and on the same side of the centre of magnification); -1 < M < 0 indicates that the image is smaller than the pre-image (and on the opposite side of the centre of magnification); M < -1 indicates that the image is larger than the pre-image (and on the opposite side of the centre of magnification). M = 0 means the image is point-sized and at the centre of magnification. M = 1 means the image coincides with the pre-image. M = -1 means that the image is the same size as the pre-image and on the opposite side.
How will you add image in HTML and servlet?
<img src="image Path">
What is true about the resulting image of a scale factor 3 dilation?
The image is a similar shape to that of the original.
What is the amount of detail in an image?
The resolution.
What are some similarities between a bitmap graphic and a vector graphic?
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.
Does indesign use bitmap or vector?
One can import both vector and raster/bitmap image formats into InDesign.
What does bitmap mean Bitmap?
Vector and bitmap are both image files. Bitmapped images are images that are stored on a pixel by pixel basis and because of this, when you enlarge the image it can appear blocky. A vector image is constructed from dots, lines, shapes, etc. Each part has a particular position within the image with it's own dimensions. Because vector images are constructed using images, they can be enlarged without loss of image quality. Vector images do not get the blocky appearance of an enlarged bitmap image.
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

What is a vector base image?
Vector-based files are more suitable for illustrations that require precise measurements, where as a bitmap image is not as sutible.
Does a camera take bitmap images?
The image on the sensor isn't any image format, when this analogue data is put through the A/D converter and saved they are saved in a bitmap container (Jpeg and Raw (NEF, CR2, PEF Etc.) are all bitmap formats) all images are either a bitmap or a vector graphic, out of the camera they are bitmap, but the data in the file can be opened as a Vector Graphic in some programs.
What is vector all about?
Vector describes both speed and direction. In graphic programs, a vector graphic scales smoothly (more so than a bitmap image).
How are Flash images different from bitmap images?
swf is vector format, that means image can be re sized without loss of quality, but if you place bitmap or raster image in swf file when resized (enlarged) image will appear blurry.
Is GIMP a bitmap or a vector program?
GIMP, just like Photoshop or MS Paint, is a bitmap program. Vector programs are programs that are based around curved and straight lines to create an image that doesn't have any pixels.
What is the difference between vector and bitmap graphics?
Both are graphics both are editable both are software
What are the disadvantages of bitmap graphics and vector graphics?
bitmap is a raster image which is anything with lots of detail while a vector is an image that is made up of geometric shapes and therefore can be manipulated in ways in which is keeps its detail. raster images vary depending on resolution and can only be made bigger if they have a higher resolution while vectors can scale without regards to resolution as they are made of geometric primitives. Simple things use vector while more complete images are usually raster/bitmap.
