- 2. TYPES OF GRAPHICS FILES AMBER MUSTAFA M:Ed Morning Roll # 02 Submitted to: Sir Kamran
- 3. There are a number of different types of graphics file format Each type stores graphics data in a different way Bitmap, Vector and metafile formats are the most commonly used format.
- 4. BITMAP FORMATS Bitmap formats are used to store bitmap data. Bitmap file sometimes called raster files, essentially contain an exact pixel-by-pixel map of an image. This image on the display surface of an output device.
- 6. VECTOR FORMATS Vector format file are particularly useful for storing line based elements such as line and polygons, or those that can be decomposed into simple geometric object text. Vector file contain mathematical description of image elements, rather the pixel values.
- 8. METAFILE FORMATS Metafiles can contain both bitmap and vector data in a single file. The simplest metafiles resemble vector format files, they provide a language or grammar that may be used to define vector data elements. Metafiles are frequently used to transport bitmap or vector data b/w hardware platform.
- 9. SCENE FORMATS Scene format files (sometimes called scene description file) are designed to store a condensed representation of and image or scene. What is difference between a vector file and scene format file. Vector file contain descriptions of portions image. Scene file contains instruction rendering program uses to construction that the image.
- 11. MULTIMEDIA FORMATS Multimedia formats are relatively new but are becoming more and more important. They are designed to allow the storage of data of different types in the same file Multimedia formats usually allow the inclusion of graphics, audio, and video information.
- 12. HYBRID FORMATS Currently, there is a good deal of research being conducted on the integration of unstructured text and bitmap data. Hybrid text and the integration of record based information and bitmap data (hybrid database).
- 13. 3D FORMATs Three dimensional data files store description of the shape and color of 3D models of imaginary and real world objects. 3D models are typically constructed of polygons and smooth surface. Models are placed in scenes with lights and cameras so objects in 3D files are often called scene element.
