Part 2 Performing Marking
1-2 Preparing the Image
Prepare an image (such as a photograph or drawing) for marking.
Vector data cannot be used. Provide bitmap data.
Bitmap data in JPEG or BMP format can be used with Dr. METAZA. If you're using a commercially available program to prepare the
data, refer to the program documentation.
[Definition] Bitmap Data and Vector Data
Bitmap data uses a format that represents images as a collection of dots (points). Bitmap data is sometimes called "bitmapped
graphics" or "raster data." Most paint-type applications (ex. Paint and Adobe Photoshop) display images as bitmap data.
Vector data uses a format that represents images as a number of reference points and lines that connect these points. Applications
such as many draw-type programs (ex. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW) can be used to create images using vector data.
