Pixel vs. Vector

Pixel: (aka bitmap or raster) has to do with resolution, the number of pixels determines the resolution, all variations of colour can be represented as a single tone of data, the human eye sees the image with unbroken color transition.


Vector:  defined by mathematical equations, scalable to any size therefore good for printing, constructed from lines, shapes, and curves, can be changed into a pixel file.
