2D Vector Graphics

Vector graphics are made up of many mathematical equations rather than pixels, this means that the vector graphics are always at the highest quality.

Vector graphics is the use of points, lines, curves and shapes (also known as geometrical primitives) to represent images in computer graphics.

A vector image is made up of paths and nodes so it doesn't matter how much the image is stretched or shrunk it will maintain 100% quality.

Since vector graphics are scalable, this means that unlike bitmap graphics, vector graphics are resolution in-dependent, this means that a vector image can be increased and decreased in size and the image will be crisp and sharp, fonts are a type of vector graphic.

Vector graphics are also not restricted to a rectangular shape as bitmaps are, a vector graphic can be placed over another image an the image underneath it will show through.
