computer software
that enables users to
design, modify, and
edit vector graphics
images from a
computer and save
them as files into a
number of vector
graphics formats.

illustrations, cartoons,
diagrams, charts and logos. It

equations to draw out the
shapes. Thus, this makes vector
graphics scalable without the
loss of resolution.
