# yeah,
someone needs to do a write up about what a vector actually is.

# it is
a computer image that uses mathmatical descriptions of paths and fills to define the graphic. It can be resized without loss of definition. Technically there has never been a vector image on b3ta because they can't be displayed.
You can however take the results of your vectored image and make a gif copy for publishing.
This is not a vector image as there have never been any paths or fils. This is a flat colour tracing.

Happy now? ;)

I misread this as vasectomise.
Best done with a sharp pair of scissors and a sticking plaster.

# what you should do is
download the 30 day trial of illustrator from adobe and just before you install it you e-mail a nice man of your choice and he returns to you a serial number for you to install it. Then he provides an activation code so you end up with free software. That's what you could do, if you knew a nice man.

# sorry for the gender assumption.
I was not trying to criticise the drawing but attempting a subtle dig at the poster
who made the silly comment about vectors.
