vektorgrafikába

Vektorgrafika refers to the use of mathematical equations to represent images, as opposed to raster graphics which use a grid of pixels. This fundamental difference means that vector graphics are resolution-independent, allowing them to be scaled to any size without loss of quality. Instead of storing information about each individual pixel, vector graphics store instructions on how to draw lines, curves, shapes, and colors. This makes vector files generally smaller in size compared to their raster counterparts, especially for simple graphics.

Common file formats for vector graphics include SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), AI (Adobe Illustrator's native format), EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), and PDF (Portable Document Format). These formats are widely used in graphic design, illustration, logo creation, and web design due to their scalability and editability. Software applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and CorelDRAW are specifically designed for creating and manipulating vector graphics.

The primary advantage of vektorgrafika lies in its precision and scalability. For applications requiring sharp lines, crisp text, and designs that need to be reproduced at various sizes, such as signage, printing, and animation, vector graphics are the preferred choice. While vector graphics excel at representing geometric shapes and solid colors, they are less suited for photorealistic imagery, which is typically better handled by raster graphics.
