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.

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

Graphics
Vector graphics are computer

place lines and shapes in a
two-dimensional or three-
dimensional space.

• Vector graphics are comprised of paths, which are
defined by a start and end point, along with other points,
curves, and angles along the way. A path can be a line, a
square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. These paths can be
used to create simple drawings or complex diagrams.
