The most important difference between vector-based and bit-mapped (raster-based) graphics applications is that vector-based images scale without loss of clarity whereas bit-mapped images lose quality as the size is increased, degrading the clarity of the image.

Other differences include:

* Vector graphics files tend to be smaller in size as only key shape, color and line components must be stored (e.g., a square, size of a side, location of the center of the square, line style/color, fill style/color)

* Proportionality of line style can be maintained despite changes to the size or location of the object

* Most 3d solutions are based on extensions to 2d vector graphics

What are the differences between a lag bolt and a lag screw, and how do they impact their respective applications?

The main difference between a lag bolt and a lag screw is their heads. A lag bolt has a larger head and is typically used with a nut, while a lag screw has a smaller head and is screwed directly into the material. This difference impacts their applications as lag bolts are often used for heavy-duty applications where a strong connection is needed, while lag screws are used for lighter-duty applications where a flush finish is desired.
