In computer graphics, a representation of an image (which category includes characters) by code or a coding scheme that defines (a) the position of pixels by row (horizontal position) and column (vertical position), and (b) individual pixel characteristics such as gray scale and color.

A representation of a character or a graphic image in which each displayed or printed dot (pixel) is stored as a digital bit. Another term for the technology is raster. As an example in the printing industry, looking at a character printed by an HP printer, it is a mosaic made up of hundreds of closely fitted dots. These dots are arranged in neat r [..]

An image created from a series of bits and bytes that form pixels. Each pixel can vary in colour or grey-scale value.  Image data bits or pixels are acquired, stored or mapped into memory, and/or displayed in the exact position as in the original view, document or scene.

A bitmap is a simplistic representation of an image on a computer, simply indicating whether or not pixels are on or off, and sometimes indicating their color. Often fonts are represented as bitmaps. [..]

A bitmap is a map of dots, or bits (hence the name), that looks like a picture at a reasonable distance away from the screen. Common bitmap file types include BMP (the raw bitmap format), JPEG, GIF, PICT, PCX, and TIFF. Because bitmap images are made up of a bunch of dots, if you zoom in on a bitmap, it appears to be very blocky.

(n) an image represented as a two dimensional array of brightness values for pixels

Bitmap is a type of digital image file format that enables maximum color depth and stores image pixel information bit by bit. Bitmap images contain a finite number of pixel, so the resolution of the output device effects the detail and quality of a bitmapped image. Therefore, when you scale a bitmap image there is image degradation.
