Wektorowa

Wektorowa is the feminine form of the Polish adjective wektorowy, meaning "vector-" and is used to describe things relating to vectors in mathematics, physics, and computer science. It is inflected to agree with feminine nouns, for example grafika wektorowa, geometria wektorowa, analiza wektorowa.

In mathematics and physics, the term appears in phrases such as geometria wektorowa (vector geometry), where vectors describe lines, angles, and shapes, and analiza wektorowa (vector analysis), which studies operations like gradient, divergence, and curl, as well as line and surface integrals. The concept of pole wektorowe (vector fields) also commonly accompanies the word, referring to a vector assigned to every point in a space.

In computer graphics, grafika wektorowa (vector graphics) refers to images defined by geometric primitives—paths, curves, and shapes—expressed through mathematical equations rather than pixels. This approach yields scalability without loss of quality and can lead to smaller file sizes for simple images. Typical vector formats include SVG, EPS, and PDF, which preserve shapes and text when scaled.

The term wektorowa functions as a descriptive linguistic form rather than a distinct scientific field. It is used across disciplines to denote vector-related concepts and phenomena, with the appropriate feminine noun determining its exact form in a sentence.
