Vector vs. Bitmap Questions:

1. What is a Vector image?
A: Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and
shapes or polygonsall of which are based on mathematical expressionsto
represent images in computer graphics.
2. What is another name for a vector image?
B: Object Oriented Objects.
3. What are specific advantages of vector over bitmap-based images?
a. Vector graphics are resolution independent -, which means they can be output
to the highest quality at any scale. A vector image is one of the two major
graphic types (the other being bitmap). Vector graphics are made up of many
individual objects. Each of these objects can be defined by mathematical
statements and has individual properties assigned to it such as color, fill, and
outline. Vector graphics are resolution independent because they can be output to
the highest quality at any scale.

b. Vector graphic images normally have much smaller file sizes than raster-based
bitmaps.
c. Changing or transforming the characteristics of a vector object does not affect
or distort the object.
d. Vector images are not limited to rectangular shapes like bitmaps.
e. An image can be enlarged or reduced without affecting the quality of the
image.
f. There is no background unless it is placed behind the image as a layer.
g. Vector images have the appearance of artistic form such as cartoons.
h. Vector images can be easily converted to bitmap images.
i. Lines and curves are easily defined and will always be smooth and retain
their continuity.
4. What are the disadvantages of vector images when compared to bitmap images?
a. The main disadvantage is they are not photorealistic.
b. Vector images are usually filled with solid or gradient colors but lack in depth
and appearance.
In the values and colors of a true continuous tone image.

5. Vector images are drawn with basic line tools available in most
Graphic software programs.
a. The freehand tool is used to produce freeform lines.
b. The pen tool (Bezier) is used to draw controlled curves called Bezier curves.
6. What is a common rule for saving vector images? to save the image its
_____________ in the software program being used first, and then
__________________ Into other desired formats.
a. The native format for Corel Draw is ____________
b. The native format for Illustrator is ___________
c. The native format for Photoshop is ________and Corel Paint is ___________

web page graphics.
15. What are some disadvantages to using bitmap images?
a. Bitmap images produce _______________________
b. Bitmap images have _________________________ in regards to alterations
and modifications such as scale, image distortion, and format conversion.
c. There is a common appearance of ____________________ and blurriness in
the image, which must be compensated for with sharpness filters.
d. __________________________ is required to work with bitmap images.
e. When bitmap images are enlarged, ________________________ called
aliasing appear.
16. What is Anti-aliasing?

17. What are some basic types of bitmap images used in a variety of mediums?
a. ______________ images called line art are simple 1-bit images.
b. _____________ images contain various shades of gray as well as black and
white.
c. ___________________ use color information that can be described using a
number of color spaces such as RGB, CMYK or Lab colors.
