A computer image that is stored and displayed in terms of vectors rather than points, allowing for easier scaling and storage
A graphic image formed by a series of points joined by angles and curves, which can be filled with colours and blends As the picture is made from mathematical formula, it is not dependent on resolution (see Bitmap Graphic) therefore it can be scaled to infinity as a computer can recalculate the mathematical formula for any size
A graphic image where the graphic elements are defined using co-ordinate geometry, enabling them to be scaled each time they are used without loss of resolution (as opposed to bitmap) Each of the entities (eg lines, circle etc) in a vector graphic can be manipulated individually
digital images created by placing lines and shapes in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space Some animation images are created as vector files
A graphic image drawn in shapes and lines, called paths Images created in Illustrator and Freehand (graphic design software) are vector graphics
An image composed of individual elements, e g , arc, line, polygon, with their own attributes that can be individually edited A drawing-type package is usually required to display such vector images
A graphic image drawn in shapes and lines, called paths Images created in Illustrator and Freehand (graphic design software) are vector graphics They are usually exported to be bitmap images
