Color Bit, Depth and Pixel
8-bit color graphics is a method of storing image
information in a computer's memory or in an image file,
such that each pixel is represented by one 8-bit byte.
Color depth, also known as bit depth, is either the
number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel,
in a bitmapped image or video frame buffer, or the
number of bits used for each color component of a single
pixel.
Pixel :Short for Picture Element, a pixel is a single point in
a graphic image. Graphics monitors display pictures by
dividing the display screen into thousands (or millions) of
pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are so
close together that they appear connected.
