History of Pixels And Vectors
An image that is presented on the computer screen is made up of pixels. The screen consists of a rectangular grid of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are small enough that they are not easy to see individually, unless you look rather closely. At a given time, each pixel can show only one color.
The early graphics were vector graphics, composed of thin lines whereas modern days graphics are Bitmap based using pixels.
Bitmap is an outdated image file format for computers running the Windows operating system. The format was developed by Microsoft for storing bitmap files.
Vector graphics, composed of lines defined by mathematical formulas, were first used in computer displays in the 1960s and ’70s. Vector graphics made a comeback when we turn to 3D graphics. Because, vector graphics are common in 3D design. Images are fundamentally composed out of geometric shapes. Or, rather, a "model" of a three-dimensional scene is built from geometric shapes, and the image is obtained by "projecting" the model onto a two-dimensional viewing surface.
