The most widespread graphic applications are vector graphics and bitmap (or raster) graphics. It is be helpful both for expert designers and for PC users to get to know more about new possibilities of graphic design. Vector graphics represents the use of geometrical figures such as points, lines, curves and others, so as to form illustrations in PC graphics. It is necessary to realize the designation of this tool to guarantee its efficient application. Vector illustrations make up an illustration like mathematical formulae with the help of lines, shapes and colors.
