What are Vector Images?
A Vector image is a graphical file format. The image is composed of a series of “Points” with lines that join these points. Using this method of point-to-point illustration in a vector drawing program, simple or complex line-based geometric and organic shapes can be illustrated. These shapes can be filled with solid or gradient colors. The information on the coordinates of the image’s points and how they are connected and colored is stored within the file as mathematical data.
