How do vector graphics differ from bitmap and raster images?

What will be an ideal response?


Vector graphics, unlike bitmap and raster images, use lines instead of dots to make up an image. A vector file stores only the calculations for drawing lines and shapes; a graphics program con- verts these calculations into an image. Because vector files store calculations, not images, they are generally smaller than bitmap files, thereby saving disk space. You can also enlarge a vector graphic without affecting image quality-to make an image twice as large, a vector graphics program, such as CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator, computes the image mathematically.
