    No, it's not a picture, it's a digitized representation of a picture. Actually, it's a post containing a picture. Which is also digital.
    It's a rectangle of pixels on my screen which represent the information contained in a file on a server of a post which contains a digital representation of a picture of a planimeter. lol :D

    This reminds me of Theif Of Time.

    Wow, post #25 was sure em, "out there".

    aka- you forgot the web cache, cause it's a rectangle of pixels which displays the browsers cache of a representation of a file on a server, blah blah. I think the rest is pretty accurate. ;) There might be some php steps in there though.

    Also, it's a representation of picuture of a planimeter on a map.

    "picture" is accurate, photo(graph) wouldn't be. A picture refers to an image in any form, whereas a photo tends to specifically refer to one taken from a film camera and then transferred onto - get this - photo paper.

    I was going to say sextant though I knew it wasn't right. "Navigational device of sorts" should suffice.

    But you take photographs with a digital camera and it does not have to ever be put on photo paper, so a photograph could also describe a digital image.

    I think the deffinition of a photograph should be an image captured using a camera either digital or film. But a picture, can be something drawn or created with image editing software like photoshop. But why is photoshop called "photo"shop if it deals with a digital image?? I think I've just confused myself.

    I thought the same thing when I first saw the pic. Whatever it is, mod it into your case.
