Bitmap graphics represent pictures as a collection of pixels, where each pixel is assigned a binary code representing its color. Bitmaps allow for editing at the pixel level and layering of shapes, though moving layered shapes can result in missing parts from lower layers. Bitmaps are stored based on their resolution, or number of pixels, with higher resolutions requiring more storage space.

1. Bitmap Graphics

2. Bitmap Graphics
 Pictures are made up of little dots called pixels.
 The colour of each dot is saved in binary code, for
example:
 White – 0000
 Blue – 0001
 Green – 1000
 Red - 1100

3. Editing
 Editing can be done at pixel level, each individual dot
can be edited.
 Bitmap shapes can be moved and layered on top of each
other.
 Moving layered shapes results in missing parts from the
bottom shape.

4. Storage Requirements
 Bitmapped graphics are stored based on the number of
pixels used in the picture, this is called Resolution.
 The greater the number of pixels used, the higher the
resolution of the picture.
 The higher the resolution, the more space required for
storage.
