Vector Graphics

  • Vector graphics is creation of digital images through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in 2D or 3D.
  • It is the use of polygons to represent images in computer graphics.
Vector Graphics
  • Vector graphics can be created in form using pen plotter(special type of printer).
  • Draw programs are used to manipulate vector graphics.

Primitive objects supported by vector file

  • Lines, poly-lines and polygons                         

Polygons
Lines and poly-lines

  • Bezier curves and bezigons

Bezier curves
  • Circles and ellipse

Advantages

  • Power of scalability.
  • Size of vector objects is small.
  • Data can be represented in original resolution without generalization.

Disadvantages

  • It is time consuming and specific talent must be needed to create it.
  • Location of each vector need to be stored separately.
  • Thin lines in vector images may disappear if we reduce the size too much.
