About vector graphics and bitmap images

About vector graphics and bitmap images

FreeHand is a vector-graphic drawing application. A vector-graphic image is resolution-independent--it can be scaled to any size and printed on any output device at any resolution, without losing detail or clarity. In contrast, bitmap graphics--commonly used in image-editing applications--are composed of pixels. Their display depends on the resolution of the monitor or printer. Bitmap graphics can appear jagged and lose detail when they’re scaled onscreen or printed at a low resolution.
