Vector Images

Instead of using dots or pixels like a raster image, a vector image consist of connected line and curves to produce an object. In the process of creating a vector image, you must start with a vector illustration program, node or drawing points are inserted and connected together by lines or curves. All aspects of a vector image are defined by math including node position, node location, line length and down the line. Text objects are produced by connecting nodes, lines and curves. Unlike the pixel oriented raster images, vector images are object oriented. Every letter in a font starts as a vector image. A vector image will have a "wireframe" underneath the colors in the object. Vector images are like putting the body over the frame of a car.
