Pixels

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Pixel.
Pixels are usually arranged in a regular two-dimensional grid, with each pixel storing one or more numerical values that represent a sample of an image. A greater sampling density can represent finer spatial detail, although the result also depends on the optics, sensor, processing, and display. In color imaging, a pixel is commonly represented by components such as red, green, and blue (RGB), or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK).
