To enter the Bitmap keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

- Type **Bitmap**
- Type the shortcut **Bi**

## Description

The Bitmap keyword allows you to use media files such as images or videos, also called bitmap generator objects, and map them to the selection of fixtures. 

Syntax

At Bitmap \["Bitmap\_Name" or Bitmap\_Number]

## Example

**Requirement:\
**Select fixtures and arrange them in the selection grid. By doing so you create a "fixture canvas" which, on the other hand, is used to map the media file of this bitmap object to your selection of fixtures. 

- To apply the bitmap generator object "Unicorn" to your selection of fixtures, type:

|                                                                    |                                         |
