Skew, Shear, Twist and Scale — Vector Graphics Remain Crisp and Clear Why are Vector graphics such valuable design tools? Unlike bitmap graphics, they can be scaled in size and customized in many other ways without the loss of image quality. So they are ideal for signs, posters, t-shirts, logos, and other design projects that need to be frequently resized. Plus, Vector images can be used to create complex imagery while maintaining a small file size, an important aspect in web-based animations.
Note: some of the CD-ROM sets listed below do not include Vector-based graphics for every image. Please read the product descriptions for complete information.
