IST animation assessment task

22-2-12:
Today we discussed the fundamental difference between image file types. There are two types of image creation software-

1. Paint Programs:
Paint programs create an image pixel by pixel. Horizontally the pixels are named (x) and vertically they are (y). So the total number of pixels are (x) times (y). Paint programs make bitmap images. A bitmap image is basically the map of the colour of each pixel in the image. Paint is a bitmap image.

2. Draw Programs:
These create an image from "objects" (shapes). Examples include, lines, text characters, circles, squares, prisms.etc. They are called vector images. Vector images have object properties, line width, line colour and fill. Word is a vector image.
