FAQ
A vector is a quantity that has magnitude (a numerical measurement) and direction. Velocity, for example, is a vector, because unlike speed (which is not a vector, but a scalar), velocity comprises a direction in addition to a rate of speed, such as 40 mph north. When describing physical occurrences or trying to solve problems in physics, it is often easier to describe the problem by drawing a picture.

What is a vector based file?

Plaques & Letters: Frequently Asked Questions
Vector based artwork is an outline path of the object that needs to be cut. Please convert to "curves" or "paths" before sending. These files can be created in Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. If your art was created by a graphic designer, they might provide you with this file type. AI and EPS files are vector based formats. Some vector file extensions are: eps, .ai, .dxf, .cdr.

edit] What is vector graphics?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. A rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level. Contrast that to bitmap (raster) graphics which is always bound to a specific resolution and stores an image as a grid of pixels.

edit] What is 'Scalable Vector Graphics'?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open, industry-standard XML-based format for vector graphics developed by the W3C. Its acceptance is growing fast. Most vector editors these days can import and export SVG, and modern browsers (such as Firefox and Opera) can display it directly, i.e. without requiring any plugins. (For Internet Explorer, there's an SVG Viewer plugin from Adobe.) For more information, see #SVG topics below.

What is raster, vector art?

Midwest Conference Service - Frequently Asked Questions
These terms are used to classify the type of data a graphics file contains. Raster files (also called bitmapped files) contain graphics information described as pixels, such as photographic images. Vector files contain data described as mathematical equations and are typically used to store line art and CAD information. Vector files have the additional capability of being scaleable meaning that ordinarily, no image editing is necessary.

What happened to the vector rivers in my custom scenery?

X-Plane Scenery FAQs
X-Plane 7 featured rivers as textured line segments; the X-Plane 8 rendering engine draws all water, no matter how narrow, as full polygonal waterbodies. The upside of this decision is that a seaplane can correctly land on anything that looks wet in X-Plane 8. The downside is that we cannot draw X-Plane 7 vector rivers in X-Plane 8.

Q2.7: How can I find local maxima in a vector array?

Frequently asked questions about MATLAB
You can use the following one-line function to determine the indices of the local maxima. function index = localmax(x) index = find( diff( sign( diff([0; x(:); 0]) ) ) < 0 );

What is vector artwork?

Vector artwork allows the artist to manipulate the artwork. For instance, if the logo needs to be enlarged, the artist can do so without it affecting the quality of the artwork. Vector artwork IS NOT a jpeg or gif file imported into Corel or Illustrator and saved as a cdr, ai or eps file. Unlike Vector artwork, scans can't be manipulated because they weren't created on a computer. A scan is like a photograph - it can't be changed.

What is Vector Conversion?

Vector, Raster to Vector Conversion Service, Vector Art, Vec...
Vector Conversion is the art of converting raster images to vector format. Bitmap images are made up of pixels, and cannot be scaled up effectively. VECTOR images are created by the numerical coordinates that are contained within the file. Vector images can be scaled up or down infinitely without the loss of resolution and are much smaller files compared to bitmap files. Vector images also allow you to change color and edit individual elements with ease.

What is Vector Art?

Image Builders | Promotional Products
It is Electronic artwork that is generated by the Image Builders Art Department using the software Adobe Illustrator. Vector art is the most perferable format for most of our vendors because it creates perfectly smooth lines no matter how high or low the image is scaled.

What is a Vector image?

Untitled Document
These images are described mathematically in terms of curves and vectors. This allows them to be scaled (and printed) to any size with no loss in resolution. Examples of vector formats include: This format serves as a 'source file' for your logo design, in that it can be used to generate other formats including EPS and bitmaps. It is important to keep a copy of your logo in this format.

Logo Boys FAQ
Vector art is required by most printers to reproduce a clean, crisp image suitable for screen printing, hot stamping, pad printing or embroidery. Technically, Vector art uses a mathematical formula (geometrically perfect), which can be resized or reshaped without diminishing its sharpness or smoothness. Common applications include: ai, eps, cmx, cdr, dxf, wmf/emf. In general, the higher the resolution (dpi), the better.

What is the difference between the pFIV-H1 Vector and the pFIV-H1/U6 Vector?

FAQ
SBI offers two vectors for the cloning and expression of siRNA. The pFIV-H1 vector is an approach that utilizes a single siRNA sequence with a fold-back stem-loop structure (also known as a "hairpin") that is expressed from a single promoter (H1). The sequence is then converted to a double-stranded siRNA after intracellular processing cleaves the loop.

Where can I get the sequence of the vector?

The RCAS System - Frequently Asked Questions
We have provisional sequences (downloadable as text files) for several of the commonly used RCAS vectors: RCASBP(A), RCASBP(B), and RCASBP(M). Numbering of these sequences begins at the U3 R boundary in the lefthand LTR. Note that the sequences have not been finalized. We are in the process of preparing the final versions of the sequences. As soon as this has been done, the corrected sequences will be posted here.
