Vector and Bitmap Graphics Concepts

The video tutorial by Paul Kaiser explains the differences between Bitmap and Vector graphics. Bitmap graphics use pixels to create images, resulting in larger file sizes and resolution-dependent quality. Vector graphics use paths defined by mathematical equations, allowing for smaller file sizes and scalability without loss of detail. The tutorial covers common file formats for both types, discusses resolution and detail, and highlights practical applications, such as using Bitmap for detailed images and Vector for scalable logos.

What is a pixel in Bitmap graphics?

• A small square that can have its own color

• A mathematical equation

• A type of file format

• A path between points

How are paths used in Vector graphics?

• To define the color of each pixel

• To store image resolution

• To define shapes between points

• To create mathematical equations

What information is stored in a Bitmap graphic file?

• Mathematical equations

• Number of pixels and color values

• Paths and points

• File size and resolution

Which of the following is a common Vector graphic file format?

• JPEG

• PNG

• BMP

• SVG

What does resolution refer to in Bitmap graphics?

• The file size

• The type of file format

• The amount of detail in the image

• The number of paths

What happens when you increase the resolution of a Bitmap image without capturing more detail?

• The color values change

• The file size decreases

• The image remains fuzzy

• The image becomes clearer

How does zooming in on a Vector graphic affect its detail?

• It changes color

• It becomes pixelated

• It remains the same

• It loses detail

What is a limitation of Vector graphics when it comes to detail?

• The number of pixels

• The output device

• The file format

• The color values

Why might you choose Bitmap graphics for a photograph?

• For mathematical precision

• For small file size

• For smooth continuous tone

• For scalability

What is a good use for Vector graphics?

• Scanned documents

• Low-resolution images

• Logos

• Photographs
