# Connected lines = vector n'est-ce pas?
'All electronic art images are divided into one of two core types, raster images (also know as 'bitmaps') and vector images. In a nutshell raster images are composed of connected dots and vectors are images composed of connected lines.'

# But you can create a vector-style raster.
That's a raster up there.
Not a vector.
You could call it a "vexel"

# no, you cannot create a vector style raster
if you zoom in on a vector it will always be spline based and smooth, a raster image just becomes large pixels when you zoom right in.

What you're suggesting is that all vector images look the same and follow a similar basic block coloured style, which they really do not.
For example this is a vector image www.xara.com/gallery/business/aram_3/aram_3.jpg

# basically, imagine you've got paint on your chin
and you rub the shape with your chin that you want to fill, that would be raster

now if you got a stencil and put that on the paper and then rubbed your chin on it, you'd have a more accurate line based image

CHIN CHIN CHIN
