The Bitmap filter imports and exports Windows bitmap images. When loading bitmap files with coordinates, the coordinate information comes from a geotiff (internal information) or external files.
File Description
In computer graphics, a bitmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits.
Used as the standard bitmap storage format in the Microsoft Windows environment. Although it is based on Windows internal bitmap data structures, it is supported by many non-Windows and non-PC applications.
