Chunky
The
Chunky method of displaying
computer graphics is one where a single
byte in memory represents a single
pixel on the screen. Usually a sequential area of memory therefore acts as an array of pixel values.
With chunky graphics, the values stored in RAM do not directly correspond to a particular colour; rather they are used as an index into a definable palette of colours.
