Vector editors are often contrasted with bitmap editors, and their capabilities complement each other.
Vector graphics or geometric modeling is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all based upon mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics.

Vector graphics (also called geometric modeling or object-oriented graphics) is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all based upon mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics.
Vector graphics were also used on the TX-2 at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory by computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland to run his program Sketchpad in 1963.
Vector graphics editors typically allow to rotate, move, mirror, stretch, skew, generally perform affine transformations of objects, change z-order and combine the primitives into more complex objects.

 University Graphics -- About File Formats
Vector graphic format conversions tend to be more problematic due to the complexity of the format.
Vector images are usually comprised of numerous objects combined to collectively portray the overall image.
One advantage of vector graphics is that they exhibit something called "device independent resolution." This simply means that they will always display or print at the highest-possible resolution since the image is transmitted mathematically to whatever display device is used.

 Vector vs Bitmap - A Guide for Clients and Designers
A graphic design background is not required for understanding this paper; technical terminology is defined; however, an elementary understanding of computers and graphics is assumed.
When a Bitmap graphic is saved, the computer is really saving an exact visual picture of the image: this pixel goes here and is this color; this pixel goes there and is that color, and so on and so on.
It is impossible to render the nuances of a photographic image in a vector editor; as a result, illustrative vector graphics have a distinct look and feel, even when produced in detail.

Vector graphics were also used on the TX-2 at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory by computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland to run his program Sketchpad in 1963.

 HWG-Graphics List FAQ - The HTML Writers Guild
In vector graphics the objects contained in the file are being stored as mathematical equations, so-called vectors.
Vector files are usually plain text files, and therefore the compression is much more efficient than in bitmaps, because it is not necessary to store each pixel - only the mathematical description of the object(s).

The vector you want to turn is the camera forward vector, commonly a unit vector along the camera -z axis.
Often it is convenient to keep that vector of unit length, or "normalized"; be careful of the different meanings of "normality".
Graphics code also cheats by associating artificial normal vectors with the vertices of polygonal models to simulate the reflection properties of curved surfaces; these are called "vertex normals".

Scalable Graphics - Another word for a scalable graphic design, is a 'vector' - a vector graphic is made up of constructed shapes, colours, and placement that form together to make a picture, and are 'scalable' - rather than being a grid of pixels that make up a bitmap graphic.

In Vector NTI terms, construction means creating a DNA molecule from fragments which are completely defined and made compatible by the user.
The Fragment Editors are fully capable of describing fragments of all types, but are most convenient for linkers, adaptors, etc. and less convenient for fragments of molecules.
The first molecule fragment in the list of component fragments is treated by Vector NTI as the fragment of “recipient” molecule.

 Learn About Adobe Illustrator
In many ways Illustrator's release was a gamble: the Macintosh did not have high market share, the only printer that could output Illustrator documents was Apple's own LaserWriter (also very new and expensive), and the drawing paradigm of Bézier curves was novel to the mainstream user.
Not only did the Macintosh show only monochrome graphics, but display options were basically limited to its built-in 9" monitor.
In the early 1990s, Adobe released versions of Illustrator for NeXT, Silicon Graphics IRIX, and Sun Solaris platforms, but they were discontinued due to poor market acceptance.

Despite the fact that the wax figure is a far closer imitation of an actual human being, the Greek statue is majestic epitome of the ideal human form while the wax figure is a glassy-eyed, eerily skinned aberration that frequently appears in horror movies.
