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.
