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.
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 and vector
raster image = monitor, laser printer or ink-jet printer vector image = graphics plotter
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.
Yes, partially. PDF encodes fonts and EPS graphics that are vector based. It also encodes images, in JPG format for example, which are raster based.
Yes. They can also just be filled with a color.
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.
There are main two classes of graphics software. These graphic software classes include raster graphics, as well as vector graphics.
vector graphics as smaller than raster graphics but the size depends on the size of the image but they are generally smaller in size than raster images(i.e images such as photos) and can scale up and down without losing quality.
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.
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.
