Term:
vector graphics
Definition: Graphics displayed using a technology that specifies how an image is represented by using vector notation; for example, a starting point, a length and the direction that the line to be drawn from the starting point is to take. From a mathematical perspective, a vector graphics image is nothing more than a collection of individual lines or vectors. Vector graphics was an early computer imaging technology that is no longer widely used except for specialized applications. |
