Vector
Vector graphics produce images using mathematically generated points, lines and shapes that are rendered on a computer. The result is a file much smaller than a bitmap, which is easier to send and download over tight bandwidth connections. In addition, a vector file can be resized and manipulated without distorting the image. Macromedia’s Flash produces vector graphics, and most browsers now support vector graphics.
