Raster vs Vectors

1) Raster graphics are made using pixels


2) Vector graphics are made using lines
3) Aliasing is  a situation in which a data location in memory can be
accessed through different symbolic names in the program.
4) The image becomes pixelated
5) Pixelated means that an image has big pixels in ratio to the image,
making it low quality
6) The advantage of vectors is that you can scale up or scale down the
image and it keeps the image quality
7) png , gif, pdf, jpg
8) For websites or images that have a slow data processing

Raster:

Raster graphics are best used for non-line art images; specifically digitized
photographs, scanned artwork or detailed graphics. Non-line art images are best
represented in raster form because these typically include subtle gradations,
undefined lines and shapes, and complex composition. number of bands
(channels or layers), number of rows and columns (lines and pixels), cell size
(spacing), cell origin, extents, Rotation. they are easy to use; they provide subtle
gradations of colour; and they are simple to edit using common programs like
Photoshop and Microsoft Paint. Raster images are Blurry When
Enlarged .Basically, it is a finite square and as you enlarge it you begin to see
that square.

Vector:
Most often, businesses use vector graphics for advertising and marketing, as
well as brand collateral. Vector graphics can also enhance mobile apps,
websites, infographics, and digital presentations. Vector images are formed
from a combination of individual objects consisting of points, lines, and colours.
Image size does not affect the quality of the displayed image, because it does
not depend on image resolution. Has a relatively small size for the image file.
Scalability, Small file size, Easy to edit, Easy to load, Easy to duplicate,
Precision. Not suitable for complex graphic displays Rasterization required for
display
