Linked from

The 32 pages that link to Raster graphics, each with the reason it gives.

• Geographic information systemRelated: GIS uses raster grids for continuous surfaces such as elevation and temperature.

• Computer-aided designCompared with: Raster images lack the editable geometric precision that distinguishes vector-based CAD drawings.

• Computer graphicsCompared with: Pixel grids are one major image representation, distinct from geometric descriptions.

• Digital imageNarrower topic: This is the pixel-grid representation used by most photographs and screenshots.

• Computer animationRelated: Raster images can serve as animation frames, textures, and painted backgrounds.

• PixelNarrower topic: A pixel is one sample in the grid that defines a raster image.

• JPEGNarrower topic: JPEG encodes raster image samples rather than geometric drawing instructions.

• Digital artRelated: Pixel-based painting and editing are common ways to make digital images.

• Vector graphicsCompared with: Raster graphics preserve pixel-level detail but can become jagged when enlarged.

• Optical character recognitionNarrower topic: Scanned pages and camera images enter OCR as pixel grids.

• RasterizationBroader topic: Rasterization produces this image format from geometric descriptions.

• PNGNarrower topic: PNG is a file format for encoding raster images.

• PointillismCompared with: Raster images share a discrete-unit structure without Pointillism’s painted marks or viewing conditions.

• Digital CompositingNarrower topic: Most compositing operates on raster images or renders that become raster images.

• Pixel artNarrower topic: Pixel art is a deliberately constructed style of raster graphics.

• Digital paintingNarrower topic: Most digital paintings are raster images whose detail depends on pixel resolution.

• DigitizationRelated: Scanning often digitizes images as pixel grids.

• Adobe PhotoshopNarrower topic: Photoshop edits pixel-based images directly, unlike editors built around geometric paths.

• Digital imagingCompared with: Most captured digital images use pixel grids, unlike resolution-independent vector graphics.

• Computer artCompared with: Raster displays offered a pixel-based alternative to the line-drawing plotters common in early work.

• Pixel densityNarrower topic: Their apparent sharpness depends on pixel dimensions relative to output size.

• GIFNarrower topic: GIF belongs to the broader family of pixel-based image formats.

• Image file formatNarrower topic: Most image file formats encode pixel grids, though some also store other data.

• ZX SpectrumNarrower topic: The Spectrum builds its screen from a pixel bitmap plus a separate color-attribute system.

• ASCII artCompared with: Raster graphics encode picture data directly rather than depending on font rendering.

• Computer cartographyRelated: Raster grids support imagery and continuous surfaces such as elevation.

• GIMPNarrower topic: GIMP edits pixel-based images, so resolution and pixel data shape its workflow.

• Golden age of arcade video gamesRelated: Raster displays made detailed, colorful game characters and backgrounds practical.

• Image scannerNarrower topic: Most scanner output is a raster image rather than vector geometry.

• Chuck CloseRelated: Close’s later grids resemble pixels, though he built them with painted marks rather than digital data.

• 2D computer graphicsRelated: They form one of the two main representation families in 2D computer graphics.

• Microsoft PaintNarrower topic: Paint edits images by changing pixel colors on a rectangular canvas.
