“the smallest controllable element of a ‘picture’ represented on the ‘screen'”
.
[1 MEGA-PIXEL] = [1 MILLION PIXELS]
(abbreviated ‘MP’)
.
-0.26 MM-
.
(think ‘”most (?) subatomic particle’)
(as in big bang’s infinitely small size)
(“that’s a clue!”)
(“takes some getting used to…”)

-in ‘digital imaging’, a pixel is a ‘physical point’ in a ‘raster image’-
*or the ‘smallest addressable element’ in an ‘all points addressable display device’*
*so it is the ‘smallest controllable element’ of a ‘picture’ represented on the screen*
.
“addressable”?
(part of a network?)
(like ‘cellphones’)
(or go back further even…)
(“walky-talkys’)
walkie talkie with michael kanacki
hes’ having a go at me…
like oyu wouldn’t believe
he was harboring fantasies…oke you wouldn’t BELIEVE
“who’s counting
and i just ‘happened’…
(and ‘it’ just ‘happened’?)
(this was his goal all along i’m afraid)
.
the address of a pixel corresponds to its physical coordinates.
(LCD pixels are manufactured in a 2-dimensional grid, and are often represented using dots or squares, but CRT pixels correspond to their timing mechanisms and sweep rates)
(each pixel is a sample of an original image)
(more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original)
(the ‘intensity’ of each ‘pixel’ is ‘variable’)
(in ‘color image systems’, a color is typically represented by three or four component intensities such as red, green, and blue, or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black)
(in some contexts (such as ‘descriptions of camera sensors’), the term pixel is used to refer to a ‘single scalar element’ of a ‘multi-component representation’ (more precisely called a photosite in the ‘camera sensor context’, although the neologism sensel is sometimes used to describe the elements of a digital camera’s sensor), while in others the term may refer to the entire set of such ‘component intensities’ for a ‘spatial position’)
(in ‘color systems’ that use ‘chroma subsampling’, the multi-component concept of a pixel can become difficult to apply, since the ‘intensity measures’ for the different color components correspond to different ‘spatial areas’ in such a representation)
(the word pixel is based on a contraction of pix (from word “pictures”, where it is shortened to “pics”, and “cs” in “pics” sounds like “x”) and el (for “element”))
.
(similar formations with el for “element” include the words “voxel” (for 3 dimensional units) and “texel” (for ‘texture mapping’ from ‘2D’ to ‘3D’))
