1. What are the differences between Bitmap Images and Vector Objects?
Answer: Bitmaps are images that are composed of an array of pixels. Thus an image can
be considered as a table consisting of rows and columns. For each intersection of a row
and a column, it is a pixel in the image and it is assigned a scalar integer (gray-scale
image) or a vector of three integers (color image). As with paint on a canvas, you can’t
just remove a mistake – you need to erase or “paint” over the mistake, i.e., change the
integer values of the pixels. To increase or reduce the size of an image, certain algorithms
are required to insert or remove the image pixels while preserving a smooth color change.
Vector objects are images composed of mathematical lines and therefore can be moved
and reshaped with no resolution loss.
2. _____ T or F: Onion skinning is the process of defining beginning and ending frames
and then creating images in between to give the appearance that the first frame slowly
changes to the last frame.
Answer: F
3. Which tool is used to draw a circle? How to draw it with a fixed center point in a
canvas?
Answer: Ellipse tool. After select the Ellipse tool on the Tools panel, position the cursor
where the center point locates on the canvas. Hold down Alt to draw a circle from the
center; then, as you are dragging, add Shift to constrain the shape to a circle.
4. _____ T or F: When creating a series of straight-path segments while working with
the Polygon Lasso tool, you drag the cursor from one anchor point to the next.
Answer: F
5. _____ T or F: The Clone operation is the same as performing the Copy and Paste
