Forma de representar una gráfica en forma tal que la imagen se revela progresivamente brindando cada vez mas resolusión hasta que la imagen total es mostrada.

An aspect of a graphics storage format or transmission algorithm that treats bitmap image data non-sequentially in such a way that later data adds progressively greater resolution to an already full-size image. Interlacing is useful when an image is being sent across a slow network, such as the Internet, in which case it can be shown initially as a whole low-resolution image that increases in resolution as more of the file is received.
