In computing, pattern of bits used to describe the organization of data. Bit maps are used to store typefaces or graphic images (bit-mapped or raster graphics), with 1 representing black (or a colour) and 0 white.
Bit maps may be used to store a typeface or font, but a separate set of bit maps is required for each type size. A vector font, by contrast, can be held as one set of data and scaled as required. Bit-mapped graphics are not recommended for images that require scaling (compare vector graphics – those stored in the form of geometric formulae).
