rasters
Pixel grid arrays
Rasters are grid-based digital images composed of pixels—tiny squares of color arranged in rows and columns.
The term contrasts with vector graphics, which use mathematical formulas to define shapes.
Raster images include photographs and scanned documents: The satellite imagery came as high-resolution rasters.
Rasterization converts vector data into pixel format.
