Vector graphics are images that are stored as a set of instructions. Vector graphics must be displayed in Windows metafile format(files with a CGM extension). Vector graphics are used when the sections or dimensions of an image must be modified often. Software packages that create vector graphics usually portray a skeleton, or wire frame of the image. The individual components that make up the image can be moved or modified before the image is rendered. 6, record 4, English, - vector%20graphic
