Definitions of bit map:

Representation of characters or graphics by individual pixels, or points of light, dark or color, arranged in row (horizontal) and column (vertical) order. Each pixel is represented by either one bit (simple black & white) or up to 32 bits (fancy high definition color).
www.rockprint.com/dictionary.shtml
A representation, consisting of rows and columns of dots, of a graphics image in computer memory. The value of each dot (whether it is filled in or not) is stored in one or more bits of data. For simple monochrome images, one bit is sufficient to represent each dot, but for colors and shades of gray, each dot requires more than one bit of data. The more bits used to represent a dot, the more colors and shades of gray that can be represented. ...

In computer imaging, the electronic representation of a page, indicating the position of every possible spot (zero or one).

A group of bits (binary digits) stored in an organised pattern in a computer's memory, which represents an image (a photo or graphic). Each 0 or 1 bit corresponds exactly to each gap (no-dot) or dot in the image.

Method of graphic display using rows and columns of dots, or pixels. Each pixel location corresponds to a location in memory.

A digitized image that is mapped into a grid of pixels. These types of images cannot be enlarged or printed at higher resolutions without developing jagged edges.

Creating characters or images by creating a "picture" (matrix) of individual bits (pixels). The individual bits may just be binary (black and white) or high definition colour. In colour systems, the "z-axis" of each pixel has a value which represents the "shade of grey" or colour of the bit. This value can be as high as 32 bits for very high-resolution colour. This results in a large, uncompressed file. For instance, a 300 dpi, E-Size drawing bit map is approximately 16MB.

Computer image made up of dots (pixels). Each dot represents one bit. For high-quality publishing, bit map refers primarily to a graphic image as it appears on screen. Bit map graphics, when printed, have a distinctly “computerized” look to them, as they suffer badly from aliasing.
