RASTER Meaning and
Definition
-
Raster is a term used primarily in computer graphics and imaging to describe a grid-like pattern containing individual dots or pixels. It refers to a two-dimensional grid or matrix of rectangular cells or pixels, typically used to represent and display digital images or data.
In computer graphics, a raster image is composed of a series of pixels arranged in rows and columns, forming a grid-like structure. Each pixel contains information about color and intensity, which allows the image to be displayed on a screen or printed on paper. Raster images are commonly used in various applications, such as photography, digital art, and video games, where they allow for high-detail rendering and manipulation.
The term "raster" is sometimes used interchangeably with "bitmap," as both these terms refer to the same concept. However, "raster" tends to be more commonly used in the context of graphics and imaging, while "bitmap" is a more general term that can also refer to other forms of data representation.
Additionally, raster can also describe the process of scanning or converting analog information into a digital raster format, where data is captured point by point, pixel by pixel. This digital representation then allows for efficient storage, editing, and sharing of visual information on various digital platforms.

Etymology of RASTER
The word "raster" originated from the Latin word "rastrum" meaning "rake" or "scraper". In the context of computing and graphic arts, "raster" refers to a grid or pattern of parallel lines that create an image by combining various dots or pixels. The concept of raster graphics, where an image is made up of a grid of pixels, emerged in the mid-20th century with the advancement of computer technology. The term "raster" was then adopted to describe this technique.
