Raster graphics originated from television technology and were used in some applications in the 1970s-1980s but did not become widely used until personal computer graphics improved in the 1990s. Vector graphics preceded raster as the more economically feasible option initially. However, as technology advanced, the more flexible raster graphics became more widely adopted, though vector remains better for scaling without quality loss. Raster uses pixels to represent images and is resolution dependent, working well for photorealism, while vector can scale seamlessly.

2. Brief History
• Raster graphics have origins in television technology
• They had some use in the 1970s and 1980s but it was
not until the graphic capabilities of personal computers
were improved in the 1990’s that raster graphics
became widely used.
• Vector drawing/graphics actually preceded raster
because vector was more economically feasible. When
technology improved the more flexible raster graphics
became and thus more widely used.

3.  Raster
• Images or Graphics that’re
made up of a rectangular grid
of pixels or points of color.
• Resolution dependent and
cannot scale up to random
proportions without losing
quality
• However, raster images work
well with photographs or
graphics that’re supposed to
be photorealistic.
Vector
• Vector graphics can easily
go between scales without
losing quality.
• Vector works well with
typesetting and graphic
design
