Vector Graphics

StarStarStarStar

Vector graphics are created using points, lines, and curves based on mathematical equations, without losing quality when scaled.

StarStarStarStar

Raster Graphics

StarStarStarStar

Raster graphics are composed of pixels, which can lead to loss of quality when the image is enlarged or zoomed in.

StarStarStarStar

Scalability

StarStarStarStar

Scalability refers to the ability of a graphic to be resized without losing image quality. Vector graphics are scalable, while raster graphics are not.

StarStarStarStar

Resolution

StarStarStarStar

Resolution refers to the number of pixels per unit area in a raster image, typically measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI).

StarStarStarStar

Pixel

StarStarStarStar

A pixel is the smallest controllable element of a raster image, often visible as a small square of color.

File Formats - Raster

StarStarStarStar

Common raster file formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP, which are based on pixel data and can lose quality when scaled.

StarStarStarStar

Path

StarStarStarStar

In vector graphics, a path is a line that connects two or more anchor points, which can be straight or curved based on control points.

StarStarStarStar

Anti-Aliasing

StarStarStarStar

Anti-aliasing is a technique used in digital graphics to smooth out the edges of a raster image, reducing the jagged appearance when the resolution is lower.

StarStarStarStar

Anchor Point

StarStarStarStar

An anchor point is a basic component of vector graphics that denotes a corner or a point of change in direction of a vector path.

StarStarStarStar

Bezier Curve

StarStarStarStar

A Bezier curve is a mathematically defined curve used in vector graphics, defined by control points that determine the shape of the curve.

StarStarStarStar

File Formats - Vector

StarStarStarStar

Common vector file formats include SVG, AI, EPS, and PDF, which retain scalability and are ideal for graphics that require resizing.

StarStarStarStar

Color Depth

StarStarStarStar

Color depth refers to the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a raster image, affecting the range of colors available.
