Graphic Terms
Animated gif : The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987
Crop: Cut short
Dpi: is an abbreviated version for dots (or pixels) per inch, a measure of the resolution of graphic shown
Jpeg: Named after the Joint Photographic Experts is a commonly used method of compression for photographic images. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable trade off between storage size and image quality.
Mirror: an exact copy of a data set
Resolution: the number of pixels per square inch on a computer-generated display
Pixel: the smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a screen.
fps(frames per second): The amount of still frames that are displayed during one second of video
file extension: A short series of letters and/or numerals at the end of a personal computer file name, used to show the type of file and the software that will be needed to operate or open it.
bmp: A type of image file format, bitmap refers to the rows and columns of dots that make up a digital photo image. Each dot is stored in at least one bit of data.
frame: used to identify precisely the general information that must be programmed into a computer before considering specific directions
compression: data compression, source coding or bit-rate reduction is the process of encording information using fewer bits
flip: flip an image
morph: cause to change shape in a computer animation
frame buffer: a buffer that stores the contents of an image pixel by pixel
video card: A piece of hardware installed into a personal computer to allow it to send video signals to an external output device such as a monitor or projector
CPU: central processcing unit does most of the data processing
colour depth: the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image or video frame buffer. This concept is also known as bits per pixel (bpp)
