2. Designing the Graphic Image

2-3

Using the Hexadecimal Method

The following steps explain how to derive a Hexadecimal character string from

a bitmapped graphic.

Each square on the grid represents a dot. A black square indicates the dot is

ON, and a white square indicates the dot is OFF. A sequence of Binary

numbers, called a bit pattern or bitmap, determines what dots are on and off.

The numbers "0" and "1" are used for this purpose. The number "1" turns a

dot on and "0" turns a dot off.

1. Assign 1 to every black square and 0 to every white square.
