CS101 Assignment 5 by Fasco

This document discusses the differences between vector graphics and raster graphics. Vector graphics use geometric primitives and mathematical equations to represent images, while raster graphics use a grid of pixels. Vector graphics can be easily modified and scaled, whereas raster images can lose quality with scaling. Vector graphics are typically saved in EPS format and raster images in formats like TIFF, though raster images can also be saved as EPS.

 Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes
or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical equations, to represent images in
computer graphics.

 Vector graphics usually are easily modified within the creating application and generally are
not affected detrimentally by scaling (enlarging or reducing their size)

 Vector graphic drawing software is used for creating and editing vector graphics. The image
can be changed by editing screen objects which are then saved as modifications to the
mathematical formulae

 Raster graphics image or bitmap is a data structure representing a generally
rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other
display medium.

 Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats

 A bitmap is technically characterized by the width and height of the image in pixels
and by the number of bits per pixel (a color depth, which determines the number of
colors it can represent).

 Vector graphics typically are saved as EPS format. And Raster
images typically are saved as TIFF format, but can be saved as
EPS as well.

Differences
Vector Graphics Bit-Mapped Graphics

Conversion from vector to raster is Raster conversion to vector is much


easily accomplished more difficult (and often is not
possible)

Vector graphics are not composed of Raster graphics are composed of


pixels, but logarithms pixels

vector is more natural and how we Raster is very much a computer format
would draw (digital)
