called paths. Vector graphics are resolution independent graphics
that appear smooth and crisp regardless of how magnified the image
is on screen. They also can be enlarged as big as you want them
without having jagged edges. This format is best for line art and
logos that don't require complicated coloring or textures . They
are usually exported to be bitmap
images.
Video A series of framed images put together, one
after another, to simulate motion and interactivity. A video can
be transmitted by number of frames per second and/or the amount
of time between switching frames. The difference between video and
