How where and when digital graphics are used?

Answer 1

Vector Graphics use vectors and mathematical functions to describe images rather than fixed bitmaps. As a result the images can be cleanly scaled to any size without losing fidelity. It is also much easier (and computationally faster) to perform transformations on them quickly like sheering and rotation.

Vector graphics are used whenever we want to make images that we might want to stretch out or shrink a lot.

In particular:

* most typographical font formats describe each letter using vector graphics. (In particular, the TrueType and Postscript font formats).

* line drawings are typically drawn and stored as vector graphics

* the Gerber file format (a subset of EIA RS-274) is a de-facto standard in printed circuit design.

Practically all 3D graphics are drawn in vector graphics form.

* Computer-generated imagery (CGI) in television and movies is almost always generated using vector graphics, often Blender files or POV files or VRML files or RenderMan files.

Many physical objects have been designed using 3D versions of vector graphics

* Nearly all CAD software uses some kinds of 3D vector graphics

* The G-Code format (a subset of EIA RS-274) is used in many computer-controlled machine tools.
