- “Sample-based Graphics”
- “Bitmapped Graphics”
- Images are made up for grid of discrete pixels, for 2D “picture
elements”
- Pixels are point locations with associated sample values, usually of
light intensities/colors, transparency, and other control information
- When we sample an image, we sample the point location along the
continuous signal
