| Vector graphics is the creation of digital images through
a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes
in a given two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. In physics, a vector
is a representation of both a quantity and a direction at the same time.
In vector graphics, the file that results from a graphic artist's work is
created and saved as a sequence of vector statements. For example, instead
of containing a bit in the file for each bit of a line drawing, a vector
graphic file describes a series of points to be connected. One result is
a much smaller file. |
