What is the difference between a 'vector' and 'bit-map graphic?

MoonFantasy.Com FAQ - A Bravenet.com Faq
In vector graphics the objects contained in the file are being stored as mathematical equations, so-called vectors. Vector files are usually plain text files, and therefore the compression is much more efficient than in bitmaps, because it is not necessary to store each pixel - only the mathematical description of the object(s). Bitmaps store the image data as so-called 'pixels' [short for 'picture element'].

What is a vector graphic?

avenue creations :: the digital creative services firm
image created digitally that is stored and displayed in terms of vectors rather than points. This allows for easier scaling and storage as well as future ability to animate any creative material. See similar questions...

What is the difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions?

ActiveWin.com: Frequently Asked Questions - Windows XP "...
The 64-bit versions will only work on newer Intel Itanium based hardware. The 32-bit versions will work on all x86 compatible hardware (such a Pentium III, 4, etc). See similar questions...

What is the difference between 32 bit and 36 bit memory?

All of Memory FAQ
bit memory is commonly known as ECC memory. It has an additional 8 bits for Error Correction Check 64 bit memory is non-ECC. 72 bit or 64 bit configuration are typically found in 168 pin DIMMs bit memory is commonly known as parity memory. It has an additional 4 bits for parity checking. 32 bit memory is non-parity. 32 bit or 36 bit configuration are typically found in 72pin or 30 pin SIMMs See similar questions...

How do you receive the final vector graphic?

Raster to vector FAQ
Vector drawings can be scalable to any size without any loss in quality. This makes them ideal for company logo's or other objects that have to be resized frequently. Typical uses are for stationery, large banners, signs vehicle graphics and just about anything else you can think of! We can convert your logo from a raster or (bitmap) image to a vector illustration. See similar questions...

What is a Bit Map file?

Image Builders | Promotional Products
A bit map file is unlike a Vector file, in that it is made up of pixels which scale up very poorly. The resolution of a Bit Map file is determined by DPI or Dots Per Inch. The easiest rule of thumb to determine if the file you have is considered a Bit Map is that if you enlarge it and the edges look like a ragged staircase. See similar questions...

What is the difference between vector and bitmap graphics?

ChristmasTimeClipart.com provides both vector (EPS) and bitmap (JPG) file formats for all images. Vector and bitmap graphics are the two major 2D graphic types. Bitmap graphics are rasterized images with fixed resolutions where the file is saved as a series of pixels. Common bitmap file types include PICT, TIF, GIF, BMP, and JPG. See similar questions...

What's the difference between raster and vector files?

Frequent Asked Questions
A raster image is roughly equivalent to a newspaper photograph. If you look closely you see that it is made up of lots of small dots. The density of these dots is referred to by resolution, measured in dots per inch (stated as 'dpi'). Raster files are stored in many file formats, TIFF is a common example. Vectors are used to describe specific objects defining their size, position and geometry. The image seen on screen in a CAD application is only a visual representation of the vector file. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a Vector and a Bitmap logo?

LunaLogo
Logos in Vector format are scalable to any extend and can be printed in any desired resolution. A bitmap logo is resolution dependant. When scaled they turn pixelated. In general Bitmap logos are created from vector arts and will be used for web. See similar questions...

What's the difference between vector and bitmap files?

FAQ -=> Artwork
Vector graphics are made up of many individual objects. These objects are defined mathematically as a series of control points joined by lines or curves. Each object is self-contained, with properties such as color, shape, outline, size, and position on the screen. As an example, to draw a red square with a black outline, the software only has to know the position of the 4 corner control points, draw black lines between them, then fill the enclosed space with red. See similar questions...

What is the difference between vector and raster objects?

Inventive-Design
Raster objects are made up of pixels and are considered resolution dependent because they contain a fixed number of pixels that are used to create the image. They will lose quality if enlarged beyond the number of pixels needed in a particular use. Since there is a fixed and therefore a limited number of pixels, the image becomes fuzzy as it is enlarged. See similar questions...

What is a vector?

FAQ - Napa County Mosquito Abatement District
A vector is any animal or insect that can spread disease to humans or otherwise be of a nuisance. The Napa County Mosquito Abatement District primarily deals with the following vectors: mosquitoes, yellowjackets, ticks, and rodents. See similar questions...

What is the difference between an image and a graphic?

Easy to use, high speed print stream comparison application
These are categories describing AFP and Metacode structures. Graphics are line drawings, shading, charts, tables and graphs that are created using drawing commands. Images are the remaining elements, such as logos. Once a visual change is identified, STREAMdiff next delves into the underlying AFP structure to determine what type of change has occurred. Differences are marked on the Control file because it acts as a reference point. See similar questions...

What is the difference between BIT and Computer Science?

Frequently Asked Questions | Business Information Technology...
Computer Science (CS) is a degree program within the College of Engineering. It focuses more on the mathematical and theoretical aspects of computing, and specifically on the development of computer programs and operating systems. The freshman math courses for CS are more rigorous than the math courses for a business degree, and the computer programming requirements are significantly greater in CS. See similar questions...

What's the difference between raster and vector maps?

Frequently asked questions:
A raster map is a picture. Just like you have a picture on the wall, you have a picture on the screen. Each one of the pixel elements, or pixels, on the screen is just a representation of a picture. With a raster image you do not have any access to the objects in the picture, so if you have a picture of a coastline with bathymetry and buoy markers and shipping lanes, there is no way for you to select the shipping lanes, buoy markers or get a different type of coast line for that picture. See similar questions...

What is the difference between "vector" and "raster" images?

FAQ for comp.graphics.apps.paint-shop-pro
A vector image is constructed as a collection of abstract mathematical shapes, and these shapes preserve their identity when you scale the image or add or delete a shape. So, a vector image is resolution-independent. But rendering the image on a screen or a raster printer (both laser printers and ink-jet printers are raster printers) requires calculating an equivalent bitmap, which is slow. See similar questions...

What is the difference between Vector images and Raster images?

LT'S Inc. is Portland Maine and Southern Maine's Embroidery,...
Vector images are the best type of artwork to give your image the best look on both the screen-printed and embroidered work. A vector image is made up of lines which are a mathematical equation. The benefit of vector art is that it can be sized as big or as small as you like, but the capabilities in quality of vector art is limited. Raster images are different from vector art because the image is made up of small dots or pixel. Each pixel on the image has an actual defined color. See similar questions...

What is a the main difference between vector and bitmap products?

Professional logo design and corporate identity
Vector based designs are scalable to any size required. They do not loose quality when scaling up. When enlarging bitmap design, it looses quality. Bitmap logo designs sold at our site are 2500x2500 pixels @ 300 dpi, which is good enough for regular print. See similar questions...
