Vector Graphics - Part 3
To recap, lets see the difference between vector graphics and Bitmaps. As vectors are defined through mathematical equations, its graphical file too is constructed from mathematical equations. Greatest advantage of this is that they can be refined to any level without losing clarity. Some of the Vector files prevalent in market : PDF,SVG, Adope Illustrator, PostScript etc. Bitmap is something which is purely constructed from pixels. Advantage of this is since pixels are used here, we can use these files in photoshop and edit. But obviously loses clarity. Some of the bitmap files prevalent in market : JPEG,PNG,GIF etc.
