| Term
that comes from the words Picture Element (PEL). A pixel is the
smallest portion of an image or display that a computer is capable of
printing or displaying. You can get a better understanding of what a
pixel is when zooming into an image, as seen in the
example to the right.
As you can see in this example, the
character image in this picture has been zoomed into at 1600%. Each of the blocks
seen in this example is a single pixel of this image. Everything on the computer
display looks similar to this when zoomed in upon; the same is true
with printed images, which are created by several little dots that
are measured in DPI.
