  • vector- Vector-based images generally contain well-defined elements such as curves and shapes of various colors. . Each element is defined mathematically by the computer. For example a vector-based image contains a red dot, then information such as the location of the circle's center point, the length of its radius, and the color, red, would be the essential information for this image file. File names for vector-based images usually consist of extensions such as *.EPS, *.AI, *CDR, or *.DWG.
    Vector-based files are more suitable for illustrations that require precise measurements. They are also easily scalable due to their mathematical nature.
