What are the differences between vector images and bitmap images?

Answer 1

The two differ in the way computers analyze their content. Bitmap-based files are more suitable for photo-realistic images that require complex color variations. Bitmap is the most commonly used graphic format. A picture is composed entirely of pixels each with its own color properties. This program is perfect for images where there are thousands of colors. Vector-based files are more suitable for illustrations that require precise measurements.Rather than being composed of pixels, Vector graphics consist of points, lines, and curves which, when combined, can form complex objects. The objects can be filled with solid colors, gradients, and patterns.

Answer 2

A bitmap is a raster image. say a thousand dots across and 700 up & down (so 700,000 dots altogether).

A Vector image just gives the coordinates of both ends of each line in the image.

Answer 3

Bitmaps are generally made of strings of pixels, resulting in a blockier form of image when upscaled. Vector graphics are made through mathematics, specifically that of lines that retain quality when upscaled. Hopefully I helped.

Answer 4

the answer to your question is to suck my D*** ya did.

Answer 5

bitmapped/raster images cant be resized w/o losing image quality vecter can

Answer 6

nothing they are the same

Answer 7

Vector graphics are simple geometric shapes which can be combined to create more complicated graphics. When you blow up a vector graphic, the edges of each object within the graphic stay smooth and clean, which means its width and height can be increased or decreased (scaled) without the loss of quality. This makes vector graphics ideal for logos, sign making, maps, animations and graphic design in general, an example could be the Google logo. They are comprised of vectors, or paths (points connected by lines or curves) instead of dots.

Bitmap images (raster images) are images made up of pixels which are structured in a grid. Pixels are picture elements, tiny squares of individual colour that come together and make up what you see. Because bitmaps are made of squares of colour, some of which are too small to see, it's impossible to increase their size without sacrificing image quality: this is called pixilation. As there can be vast amounts of pixels and are stored as individuals, the file sizes are much bigger than vector graphs, as they are individual images.
