The standard graphic file format for Windows. The BMP format is not compressed so images take up a lot of disk space. A 'bitmap' file is a file that is stored as a description of each pixel (a sequence of coloured dots). Typically each dot on the screen will be represented by a number which will determine the colour of the dot. 1, record 2, English, - BMP%20format
