Raster

Brief History• Raster graphics have origins in television

technology

• They had some use in the 1970s and 1980s but it was not until the graphic capabilities of personal computers were improved in the 1990’s that raster graphics became widely used.

• Vector drawing/graphics actually preceded raster because vector was more economically feasible. When technology improved the more flexible raster graphics became and thus more widely used.

Raster

• Images or Graphics that’re made up of a rectangular grid of pixels or points of color.

• Resolution dependent and cannot scale up to random proportions without losing quality

• However, raster images work well with photographs or graphics that’re supposed to be photorealistic.

Vector• Vector graphics can

easily go between scales without losing quality.

• Vector works well with typesetting and graphic design
