Vector Graphics Practice Exam

Vector graphics refer to the digital images which are developed and represented by maths equations and formulas as applied on points, lines, curves, and polygons. The file size is small and can easily be scaled as per requirement without loss of quality as image is computed, as against the raster images, which are made up of pixels. Vector images are used for logos, icons, and diagrams, where scalability is needed. Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape are used for making or editing vector images.
