The 16 pages that link to Vector graphics, each with the reason it gives.

• Geographic information systemRelated: GIS uses vector features to represent discrete places and boundaries.

• Computer graphicsCompared with: Geometric descriptions offer a resolution-independent alternative to pixel-based images.

• Raster graphicsCompared with: Unlike raster graphics, vector images can scale without exposing a fixed pixel grid.

• Digital imageCompared with: Vector graphics encode shapes as instructions instead of storing a pixel grid.

• Computer animationRelated: Vector shapes can be transformed cleanly and animated as independent elements.

• PixelCompared with: Unlike pixel-based images, vector graphics can scale without resampling a raster grid.

• Digital artRelated: Scalable paths let artists create crisp forms at different sizes.

• RasterizationNarrower topic: Rasterization commonly converts these resolution-independent descriptions into pixels.

• Pixel artCompared with: Vector shapes scale smoothly, unlike pixel art’s explicitly gridded marks.

• Digital paintingCompared with: Vector artwork scales cleanly, while painterly texture usually relies on pixels.

• Digital imagingCompared with: Vector representations scale without the pixel-resolution limits of raster images.

• Image file formatCompared with: Vector formats describe scalable shapes instead of storing a fixed pixel grid.

• Adobe FlashRelated: Flash used scalable vector artwork to keep animations crisp at different sizes.

• Computer cartographyRelated: Vector features let maps represent roads, boundaries, and symbols with editable geometry.

• 2D computer graphicsRelated: They provide the other main representation family, scaling without pixelation.

• Adobe Creative SuiteRelated: Illustrator's vector workflow complemented the suite's pixel-based image editing.
