Why Vector?

Vector Drawing Advantages

• Accurate geographic location of data is maintained.
• Data can be represented at its original resolution and form without generalization.
• Graphic output is usually more aesthetically pleasing (traditional cartographic representation);
• There are two kinds of computer graphics – raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of paths). Raster images are more commonly called bitmap images.
• Typical uses are for stationery, large banners, signs and vehicle graphics and just about anything else you can think of.
• Vector Graphics are also ideally suited for detailed illustrative work and industrial illustrations.
• A bitmap image uses a grid of individual pixels where each pixel can be a different color or shade. Bitmaps are composed of pixels.
• You may have a logo that you designed yourself, either created using photo editing software or perhaps a design that you’ve pen drawing, 90% of the time we can re-draw it into a vector graphic.
• Vector graphics use mathematical relationships between points and the paths connecting them to describe an image. Vector graphics are composed of paths.
• Vector drawings can be scalable to any size without any loss in quality. This makes them ideal for company logos or other objects that have to be resized frequently.
• It’s quite often more beneficial to show a detailed vector illustration rather than trying to produce a high resolution photographic image, especially when used for demonstration purposes or technical instruction manuals.
• Bitmap images require higher resolutions and anti-aliasing for a smooth appearance. Vector based graphics on the other hand are mathematically described and appear smooth at any size or resolution.
