in raster for -graphics, the image is composed, (of patterns), of dots called pixels {picture elements} it the, That is, a painting software creates an image by turning individual screen pixels on or off. Because the image is mapped on to the screen based on binary bits, this technique is called bit mapping and an image represented in this manner is called a bit-mapped image. The number of bits needed to describe a pixel increases with the monitor’s resolution and the number of colors that can be presented. Obviously, vector graphics takes up much less storage space than raster graphics for the same drawing. However, raster graphics provides more flexibility and greater degree of creativity in drawing complex shapes and use of colors.
