Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygons—all of which are based on mathematical expressions—to represent images in computer graphics.{failed verification|date=August 2014} Vector graphics are based on vectors (also called paths), which lead through locations called control point...

it is possible to represent a picture on a computer by using a series of lines, shapes, characters etc. - when such pictures are printed, the resolution of the pictures produced is only limited by the resolution of the output device (this contrasts with Bit-mapped graphics - for example, the Draw application produces vector graphics whereas Paint p...

Click images to enlargeComputer graphics that are stored in the computer memory by using geometric formulae. Vector graphics can be transformed (enlarged, rotated, stretched, and so on) without loss of picture resolution. It is also possible to select and transform any of the components of a vector-graphics display be...
