What Is The Difference Between VECTOR and BITMAP Graphics? Explain Both Terms.

Definition:- VECTOR: Generation of images from mathematical descriptions that determine the position, length, and direction in which lines are drawn.
BITMAP: Any visual matter containing pixels that has a bit depth of one. In other words, the pixel is either 100 percent black or 100 percent white.
DIFFERENCE: The Difference between BITMAP and VECTOR Designs is that Vector images are generated via mathematical equations whereas bitmap images are based visual matter and pixels.

My Own Words:- VECTOR: Images created from Mathematical equations. thes equations modify position, length and direction of various aspects of the image.
BITMAP: In Bitmap the Pixels are either 100% black or 100% white.

What is a pixel?

Definition:- A pixel (short for picture element, using the common abbreviation "pix" for "picture") is a single point in a graphic image.

In My Own Words:- A Pixel is a small part of an image and it connot be seen very clearly on on sharp image.

SketchUp Test

To-day we were introduced to a new programme which will be heavily used throught our coursework this year. It is called Google SketchUp. SketchUp is a 3D modelling programme designed for professional architects, civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It is also widely used by teens and pre-teens as an entertainment software.





To test out the software and to make myself familliar with it, I took the available tutorial on the software and it was quite a large help and I now feel more comfortable using the software.





The first building I made with the software was an average rectangular building with a helipad and car parking on the roof. On the left hand side of the building i have a ramp for the cars to get on the roof. I cut holes for the doors and windows and I put people and wastepaper bins in the area outside the building.
