Just What is a Bitmap?
 

When someone says "use a jpeg bitmap", what do they mean?

Googling for how to create a jpeg bitmap says it's pretty much anything
https://www.techwalla.com/articles/h...reate-a-bitmap

Microsoft thinks a jpeg bitmap is something specific
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ap-at-run-time

Artists maybe create jpeg bitmaps by hand?
https://magazine.art21.org/2011/09/1.../#.XAL5P9NOk4k

Programmers maybe create jpeg bitmaps from text files?
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...ng-a-text-file

Diehards even seem to be using hex editors to make jpeg bitmaps
https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-make...g-a-hex-editor

I'm not asking about bmp file format but about bitmaps in jpeg format.
What is a bitmap jpeg file anyways?

Perhaps it would help to separate the two terms. To answer the general
question, a 'bitmap' is an image comprised of squares arranged in rows
and columns.

JPEG is a file format that contains a version of the original bitmap
image and organizes aspects of the image such as its resolution relative
to the original, file size and other factors. One original purpose of
the jpeg format was to allow journalist photographers to send images
across the internet when 300bps modems were commonplace.

they mean a jpeg image.

what you mean is trolling.

I'm unsure a jpeg can be considered a format usable for bitmap
manipulation, because it is a lossy format. So someone creating or
changing a bitmap would not use jpeg because individual pixels can
change or just be lost. A bunch of spatially contiguous pixels can be
grouped and get the same value - when in the original they were different.

of course it's usable. it's done every day.

it's obviously preferable to use raw, but not required.

That is a different issue. There are several lossy bitmap formats, one
of which is jpeg. Sometimes its lossy aspect matters, sometimes not.

If you are going to do bitmaps, and expect the pixels to stay the
*exact* same the next time you open the file, don't use a lossy format,
because it can change your pixels...

Why are you under the impression that I disagree that jpeg is lossy, or
is it that you think that's *always* the most important aspect of an
image? Just curious.

Maybe language issue? Or cultural differences?

To me a _bitmap_ has to transferred exactly, and jpeg is not valid for
bitmaps.
