Raster and Vector Graphics

Raster graphics use bitmaps to show the image.  That's why when they are resized, they become very pixelated.  But they colors and shading in raster images are superior to vector graphics.

This is example of raster graphics.  Notice how the images are pixelated and zoomed in?  Because resizing is not something raster graphics are good for.

Vector graphics, however, are created digitally and are much better for resizing because the computer will create paths that connect the points of an image.Vector images are in "p", which means progressive scan.  Progressive scan means frames are rendered one at a time, while "i"(interlaced) are rendered in halves of frames. 

These graphics are connected by lines created digitally.  They can be resized and look the same.
