You can not enlarge bitmap images without losing quality and bitmap images are larger in size then vector.
Main difference is that you can enlarge vector graphics without lose of quality. Vector graphics can be scaled and changed at any time without any lose of quality or appearance while raster images can lose sharpness and quality when you scale or change them.
Vector graphics refers to a type of graphics that stores color information as well as the paths (curves and shapes) rather than using pixels to store image information (raster graphics). This means that it will retain image quality better than raster graphics, no matter how you scale it (enlarge or shrink) when it comes to designing logos, line art, and other 2D imagery. The most common file type for vector graphics is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). In programming, a vector is a scalable array (a type of array that can be resized). For example, strings in C++ would be a vector of characters/bytes.
It all depends on the project. Raster images are resolution dependent, you loose quality if you enlarge the image. Vector graphics maintain image quality when enlarged and are best suited for logos, or any design that will be reproduced in different sizes.
Did you mean Vector Graphics?If so, a vector image is an image which does not use pixels to form pictures, it simply uses shapes and colours. Photographs use pixels, and when you enlarge them, they go fuzzy, or pixilated. Vector graphics do not have this problem, and so they are often used for posters and logos, so that they can be rescaled without loosing any of the picture quality.
Vector tracing, also known as vectorization, is the process of converting raster images or bitmap graphics into vector graphics. Raster images are composed of a grid of pixels, where each pixel contains color information, and they are resolution-dependent. This means that when you enlarge a raster image, the pixels become visible, resulting in a loss of quality and a pixelated appearance.
Vector Graphics are made up og lines and curves. A very nice thing about vector graphics is that you can move them around freely, without using detail or it's clarity. Vector graphics are best for artworks such as logos.
Asymptote - vector graphics language - was created in 2004.
Scalable Vector Graphics was created on 2001-09-04.
Difference between a vector and bitmap graphics is that a vector is a format of a drawing whereas bitmap is a format of a photo. * the advantages of a vector is that the drawing can be stretched to any size without ruining the quality and bitmap is faster to display .Bitmap graphics as being stored in a literal fashion, then Vector Graphics, stored representative are their opposites
You have to use programs which support vector graphics and raster graphics, so you can save them in what format you would like? ex: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw you can use...
Raster graphics are stored as pixels, vector graphics are stored as geometric primitives. Images of the latter type can, in principle, be scaled infinitely, and pixelization will not occur.
