Work with vector images, they resize much cleaner. |

Vector graphics: Vector graphics is the use of polygons to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Each of these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work plane and determines the direction of the path; further, each path may be assigned a stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill. This is opposed to a bitmap, describing the colors of bits on a grid. If you're increasing the size of an image, some program has to "guess" what color the new pixels should be, based on the colors of neighboring pixels. This can get fuzzy. With vector graphics, it's easy and natural to change the image's size: the image is stored as a bunch of polygons, which are then translated to whatever number of pixels on the screen. If you change the image's size, just change the size of all the underlying polygons: no extra guess work involved. Vector image file formats aren't as popular. I just knew about them because of a graphing package (ggplot2 in R) with the option of saving graphs in vector formats. You can see a list here. |
