Bug Description
My Email: jmccann at cs dot cmu dot edu
Using the word "Bitmap" to mean "Raster image", while technically correct,
creates confusions:
Windows: bitmap might be taken to mean BMP format export, while one may
export (e.g.) PNG.
Linux: in traditional X terminology 'bitmap' tends to mean a one-or-zero
image type [e.g. bitmap fonts], with colored images being pixmaps.
I suggest a rename to "raster export", "raster image export" or simply
"export".
