2 definitions found From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]: bitblt /bit'blit/ n. [from {BLT}, q.v.] 1. [common] Any of a family of closely related algorithms for moving and copying rectangles of bits between main and display memory on a bit-mapped device, or between two areas of either main or display memory (the requirement to do the {Right Thing} in the case of overlapping source and destination rectangles is what makes BitBlt tricky). 2. Synonym for {blit} or {BLT}. Both uses are borderline techspeak From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: bitblt /bit'blit/ [{BLT}] 1.
