A1 - Vector graphics are created in Graphics packages and consist of shapes called objects. You can edit each object seperately, for example, change the shape, colour size or position.
Even if an object in a vector graphic is quite large, it doesn't need a lot of computer memory. Therefore the file size of a vector graphic is often very small.Vector graphics are scalable - ie when you resize them, they do not lose quality.
Q2 - What are bitmap graphics?
A2- When you take a photograph using a digital camera or scan an image from a magazine, you are creating a bitmap graphic.
A bitmap graphic is composed of many tiny parts, called pixels, which are often many different colours. It is possible to edit each individual pixel.
Since the computer has to store information about every single pixel in the image, the file size of a bitmap graphic is often quite large.
When you resize a bitmap graphic, it tends to lose quality.
