 # bitmap
 
+The bitmap program is a rudimentary tool for creating or editing rectangular images made up of 1's and 0's.
+Bitmaps are used in X for defining clipping regions, cursor shapes, icon shapes, and tile and stipple patterns.
+
+The bmtoa and atobm filters convert bitmap files to and from ASCII strings.
+They are most commonly used to quickly print out bitmaps and to generate versions for including in text.
