Graphics
Vector vs. Bitmapped
A vector graphic is an image which shape, position, colour, density, etc. is described in the Postscript language and is therefore scalable and resolution independent.
A bitmapped image is described in pixels and when scaled up the pixels are enlarged and can show a jagged edge if enlarged beyond the optimum size. Using the drawing tools in Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand and CorelDraw creates vector images. Scanning and creating images in bitmap programs such as Adobe Photoshop creates bitmapped images.
