Pictures can also contains, besides vector graphic objects, bitmap graphic - bitmaps. Bitmap is a raster picture created by means of bitmap graphic editors (e.g.. Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop). Bitmaps allow to modify a picture with graphic items, which can not be created by using the process D2000 GrEditor.
For more information on the use of bitmaps in D2000 GrEditor see the topic Bitmaps.
