Despite these incidents, his reputation remained relatively intact in the eyes of the royal family due to his gender, nationalistic ideas, and the modest strength of society in intervening in royal family matters.

Raster

A raster is a two-dimensional grid of pixels used to display images on a digital device, such as a computer monitor or a television. It's a fundamental concept in computer graphics, digital imaging, and digital presentation. In a raster image, the pixels are arranged in a matrix, forming a grid, with each pixel representing a single point of color in the image. The pixels are typically arranged horizontally and vertically in rows and columns, creating a rectangular grid. Raster graphics can be used to display a variety of images, including photographs, graphics, and text. They are often used in digital art, advertising, and multimedia applications. Some common properties of raster images include: Resolution: The number of pixels per inch (PPI) or pixels per centimeter (PPC) Bit depth: The number of bits used to represent each pixel (e.g. 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, etc.) Color mode: RGB (red, green, blue), CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), or grayscale File format: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc.

Rasterisation

Rasterisation is the process of converting a 2D or 3D object's vector graphics into a raster image, which is made up of a grid of pixels. This is done to display the image on a screen or printer, which only displays pixels. Rasterisation is essential for rendering graphics and images that can be viewed on digital devices, such as smartphones, computers, and televisions.

Rasterised

The word "rasterized" refers to the process of converting an image or graphic into a digital format, specifically by dividing it into a grid of small squares or pixels, called a raster. This is in contrast to vector graphics, which are made up of lines and curves. For example, when you take a photograph with a digital camera, the image is rasterized into a grid of pixels that correspond to the resolution of the camera. Similarly, when you edit a photo on a computer, you may rasterize the image to change its resolution or size. In a broader sense, rasterization can also refer to the act of breaking down a complex image or data into smaller, more manageable components, like pixels or cells, for processing or rendering.

Rasterising

The process of converting an image from a vector format to a raster format. In vector graphics, images are made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical equations. Rasterising is the process of converting these vector shapes into a raster image, which is made up of a series of pixels. Rasterising can be done for various purposes, including: Preparing an image for printing or display on a device that only supports raster graphics Converting a vector image into a format that can be edited in a raster graphics editor Creating a preview or thumbnail of a vector image in a raster format Rasterising can be done using various software, including graphics editors, rasterisers, and plugins.
