BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the

color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth gives a broader

range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of possible

colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly

called as monochrome or black and white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows

graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format

on that platform.
