What does BITMAP mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An image stored as a grid of individual dots, each with its own colour value.
A bitmap records a picture pixel by pixel, which is why it looks sharp at its original size but blocky when enlarged. This sets it apart from vector graphics, which store shapes as formulas and scale smoothly. Common file types such as BMP, PNG and JPEG all hold bitmap data. The word also works as a verb for converting something into such a grid.
