Bitmap vs Vector Graphics vs Design vs Simulation Quiz

Graphics and Multimedia

• Bitmap is an array of bits that specifies the color of each pixel in a rectangular array of pixels, with each pixel represented by a 4-bit number, allowing for 16 colors.
• Vector graphics consist of simple straight and curved lines called vectors or basic shapes (circles, curves, triangles, etc.).

Types of Graphics

• Raster Graphics: Made up of pixels, resolution dependent (e.g., Bitmap)
• Vector Graphics: Made up of vectors, not resolution dependent (e.g., AI, EPS, SVG)

Multimedia Elements

• Dynamic Elements:
  • Video: Moving pictographic images accompanied by sounds, the most effective medium in multimedia.
  • Animation: Moving images created through a series of graphics, popular in multimedia.
• Static Elements:
  • Text: Characters (alphabets, characters, and numbers) used for creating words.
  • Graphics: Any non-text information like images, drawings, or charts.

Applications of Computer Graphics

• Simulation: Education, information visualization, and computer simulation.
• Design: Graphic design, computer-aided design, and web design.

Multimedia Presentation

• Linear Presentation: Active content progresses without user control.
• Non-linear Presentation: Offers interactivity to users, allowing control over the progress of the presentation.

Forms of Multimedia

• Online: Media types that require communication with distant resources or users, utilizing the internet (e.g., websites, applications, mobile services).
• E-commerce: Electronic commerce, involving the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems.

Blockchain Technology

• Definition: Decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public digital ledger recording transactions across many computers.
• Uses: Banking and Financial Services, Currency/Cryptocurrency, Smart Contracts, Healthcare Records, Property Records, Supply Chains, Voting, Video Games, and Anti-counterfeiting.
