About vector graphicsVector graphics are made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors. Vectors describe an image according to its geometric characteristics. For example, the boot laces in a vector graphic are defined by a specific width and length, set at a specific location, and filled with a specific color. You can move, resize, or change the color of the laces without losing the quality of the graphic. Vector graphics are resolution-independent--that is, they can be scaled to any size and printed at any resolution without losing detail or clarity. As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for representing graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes--for example, logos. ![]() Vector graphic at different levels of magnification |
