Raster in a sentence

For non- PostScript (raster) printers, the final raster image was produced by the computer and sent to the printer, which meant dot-matrix printers on the Mac platform exclusively used raster ("graphics") printing mode.

For example, saving a circle shape in a raster format requires very similar code no matter what specific raster form is used, and is different from other primitive shapes; the case for other primitive shapes like lines and polygons is similar.

In order to digitize a map, the map has to be checked within theoretical dimensions, then scanned into a raster format, and resulting raster data has to be given a theoretical dimension by a rubber sheeting/warping technology process.

Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats. citation A bitmap, a single-bit raster, James D. Foley (1995).

The raster image processor converts the page description into a bitmap which is stored in the printer's raster memory.

The size of the bitmap/raster-format file generated by the conversion will depend on the resolution required, but the size of the vector file generating the bitmap/raster file will always remain the same.

The technical difference between vector and raster editors stem from the difference between vector and raster images.

Use the tracing tool to convert the raster image into paths.

A laser beam (laser writer) or a beam of electrons (e-beam writer) is used to expose the pattern defined by the data file and travels over the surface of the substrate in either a vector or raster scan manner.

A low-resolution raster graphic would blur or pixelate excessively if it were enlarged from business card size to billboard size.

An example is in downscaling raster coordinates by a power of two, which maintains even spacing.

An image viewer program is usually preferred over a raster graphics editor for viewing images.

A raster graphics editor supports a certain repertoire of image editing operations.

Assuming that the display screen has a fixed size, higher magnification results from reducing the size of the raster on the specimen, and vice versa.

By filling the character pointer memory with values from zero to 1919 this essentially turned the text mode display into a very high resolution graphics mode, with the "font memory", acting as the high resolution Raster graphics video memory.

Comparison to vector graphic editors Vector graphics editors are often contrasted with raster graphics editors, yet their capabilities complement each other.

Continuous printing Once the raster image generation is complete, all steps of the printing process can occur one after the other in rapid succession.

Data extraction is a GIS process similar to vector overlay, though it can be used in either vector or raster data analysis.

DVI files can only contain references to typefaces, rather than the sets of raster or vector glyphs that other formats like PostScript allow.

Each plot shows 20 seconds of data, with a hippocampal EEG trace at the top, spike rasters from 40 simultaneously recorded CA1 pyramidal cells in the middle (each raster line represents a different cell), and a plot of running speed at the bottom.
