It depends on complexity of a drawn picture, but in most cases, vector graphics takes less space on a media: a bit-mapped image stores information about each pixel of an image, wille vector image stores only types of objects and parameters for further rendering.

Is it ever beneficial to use raster graphics instead of vector graphics?

Rastor graphics are also called Bitmap graphics, and are generally used with better results in photography. The pixillated form of Rastor graphics is more beneficial to subtle shading as opposed to the straight sharp lines of the Vector graphics.


What are the disadvantages of vector graphics?

There are a few. Vector graphics are more "scalable" than raster graphics. By this, I mean you can draw a design that's six inches high, enlarge it to four feet high, and still have it look sharp. If you did that with a Photoshop file, the picture would become extremely jagged. Vector graphics' filesizes are smaller than raster graphics' filesizes. If I were to build a 12-inch square item at 60dpi, which is my standard resolution (you can get away with that if you're printing things that are to be viewed at a distance), and I did it in Photoshop, the file would be about 2MB. In Illustrator, it would be less than half that. I have a customer who gets pickups wrapped; I can do a whole pickup truck side in Illustrator in less than 20MB. That won't happen in Photoshop. Vector graphics tend to print faster than raster graphics do, and the prints are cleaner looking.


What is definition of scaling in computer graphics?

In computer graphics, image scaling is the process of resizing a digital image. Scaling is a non-trivial process that involves a trade-off between efficiency, smoothness and sharpness. With bitmap graphics, as the size of an image is reduced or enlarged, the pixels which comprise the image become increasingly visible, making the image appear "soft" if pixels are averaged, or jagged if not. With vector graphics the trade-off may be in processing power for re-rendering the image, which may be noticeable as slow re-rendering with still graphics, or slower frame rate and frame skipping in computer animation.

The difference between images and graphics?

Text can be edited for example by changing one letter in to another letter:Example:BOOT > BOATThe second "O" has been changed into an "A" Thsi hadÅ› nothing to do with the image on screen it is an edit in the code behind the presentation and would change the "O" to an "A" in any typeface or font size.If you look real closely at your monitor you should be able to see that the image is built up of small dots that really are red green and blue, these are called sub-pixels. Each group of a red, green and blue sub-pixel is a pixel (picture element).Graphics can be pixel base or vector based.Graphics that are pixel-based, when enlarged get "jaggy" - diagonal lines become like stairs (change your screen resolution to 400 x 600 or something low to get an idea or use the Ctrl and + key in your browser when looking at images),. Editing pixel graphics is a matter of changing the red green and blue value of pixels.Vector graphics are more like the SHAPE of the letters on your screen (most of them anyway are vector based. With vector graphics a mathematical representation of a curve is defined as the edge of a shape and this can be enlarged indefinitely without those "jaggies" appearing.Vector graphics can also define changes from one color to another mathematically so that the transition is smooth"


What is the significance of presentation graphics?

Graphics make it look like you spent more time on it. Make a presentation visually pleasing, it'll make it much more likely to be take seriously.

How the videomemory of your computer can be increased?

IF YOUR COMPUTER IS HAVING A MOTHERBOARD WITH ONBOARD GRAPHICS THEN YOU CAN SIMPLY INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF V MEMORY USUALLY 128,256,512.IF YOU HAVE A GRAPHICS CARD THEN onboard graphics shouldn't be turned on as it may cause conflicts.If you want more memory on a video card you will have to upgrade to a new card with more memory..sorry there's no other option for this.


Can i add memory to my NVIDIA GeForce 7100 NVIDIA nForce 630i?

You have mentioned both a graphics card and a motherboard there. You can add memory to the motherboard in the form of RAM sticks, but you cannot add memory to the graphics card. You can "trick" the computer into thinking it has more memory by allotting space oh the hard disk to be used for graphics memory but this will decrease performance as the hard disk is much slower and is generally not reccomended

Why C language is popular for graphics programming?

State-of-the-art graphics is usually pushing the boundaries of CPU and memory capacity as graphics become more and more visually impressive. C and C++ allows for very fast code by giving programmers access to low-level operations (such as pointer arithmetic, memory management, etc).


Why do you think the trend is to put more control such as the graphics controller and the memory controller in the processor rather than in the chipset?

People are more likely to put in a graphics controller and memory controller into their computers because it is cheaper and easier than adding things to the chip set.


If you have more ram does it help the graphics card?

no graphics cards have there own built in video ram The above answer is only partially correct. If a computer had onboard graphics, where there is no dedicated graphics card, then the graphics chip is on the motherboard itself. In this case, it will use the system RAM for memory. This can reduce the total amount available to the system. So if you have onboard graphics (no dedicated graphics card), then a dedicated GPU(graphics processing unit) could in fact increase available RAM. However, the difference is not likely to be large. RAM is cheap. Your best option is to buy more RAM for your system.


Can laptop graphics memory be converted to dedicated memory from shared memory of RAM?

dedicated memory is memory which is only connected to the GPU. changing shared memory to dedicated memory would involve rewiring the laptop, which would be far more expensive and far more effort than buying dozens of laptops with dedicated memory.


What is the recommended graphicts system for Microsoft office 2010?

How do you make Graphics processing faster?

To make graphics processing faster adding more physical RAM will help. The best fix is to add a specific graphics card with a large amount of RAM and a fast processor.

To have more speed in the proccesor.
