Reflection Week 9 : Multimedia in Education.

Bitmaps

A bitmap image is a computer file used to store a picture. It consists of tiny blocks called pixels.


The first graphic shows vector image, while the second one shows vector image.

Vectors

Programs like Flash draw using vectors. A very simple vector drawing might look like the first picture of the "A" Graphic.

In a vector drawing, you create control points. The lines in a vector drawing are created by the software and join up the control points that the user has drawn.

A vector drawing is also can be used in Google Draw.

This is the example of using Google Draw (Vector).


This is the example of Vector Drawing usage. 

This is the example of Vector Based Drawing using Open Source Software.

According to Wikipedia :

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector", in this context, implies more than a straight line.

In the next post, I will brief a little bit about what I have learnt about GIMP software. Till then.
