Like, Vector images are made of separate shapes instead of pixels, but how does it produce an image on a screen if the screen is covered in pixels?
In: Technology
FTR “vector images” are technically lossy. They are millions of times better than pixel images. Instead of the pixels and color data, they have instructions on how to draw the image using primitives like lines, compass, and splines.
They use floating point numbers to describe angles and distances. So they can be incredibly more accurate and scalable than pixel based methods, but there are still limits to the accuracy of such numbers. If you zoom in far enough into your image, you will eventually find points and lines not matching up perfectly.
