BMP is the abbreviation for bitmap format. This designation refers to the internal structure of the file, which uses tags in order to store all the information about an image.

BMP is a widely used format, especially on Windows computers. It is possible to store scanned images as BMP files and edit them later with a wide range of programs. BMP is a pure pixel-based format, i.e. when exporting to BMP, all the elements drawn in Arbortext IsoDraw are converted into a raster image.
