Képponttal

Képponttal is the instrumental form of the Hungarian word képpont, meaning pixel. In formal and technical Hungarian, képponttal is used to indicate an action or measurement performed per pixel or with reference to individual pixels. The term appears primarily in digital imaging, computer graphics, and related fields, where discussions often focus on pixel-level operations.

Etymology and form: képpont combines kép (image) and pont (dot/point), and the instrumental suffix -tal forms a means or manner construction. Thus képponttal literally translates to “with a pixel” or “by pixel.” As a fixed expression, it functions like a technical descriptor rather than a standalone concept with a broad, separate definition.

Usage: In Hungarian technical writing, képponttal is used to describe per-pixel procedures or measurements, such as processing, analysis, or rendering carried out at the granularity of individual pixels. For example, phrases like képponttal történő feldolgozás or képponttal mért fényesség are used to specify pixel-level operations or pixel-based brightness measurements. The term tends to appear in contexts where precise, granulated control over image data is discussed.

Relation to related concepts: Képponttal is closely connected to other pixel-related terms in Hungarian, such as képpont (pixel) and felbontás (resolution). While it conveys a methodological sense, it is not a separate field or widely recognized international term; its use is largely confined to Hungarian-language technical literature and discourse on digital imagery.

Note: The term is specific to Hungarian and is best understood within the context of image processing terminology in that language.
