Graphics   the products of the graphic arts, esp. commercial design or illustration  
🗑

🗑
Compression   the action of compressing or being compressed.  
🗑
Lossless   having or involving no dissipation of electrical or electromagnetic energy.  
🗑
Lossy   having or involving the dissipation of electrical or electromagnetic energy  
🗑
Portability   is a characteristic attributed to a computer program if it can be used in an operating systems other than the one in which it was created without requiring major rework. Porting is the task of doing any work necessary  
🗑
Transparency   the condition of being transparent.  
🗑
Raster Graphics   are digital images created or captured (for example, by scanning in a photo) as a set of samples of a given space. A raster is a grid of x and y coordinates on a display space.  
🗑
Vector Graphics   is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics.  
🗑
Meta Graphics   An image in meta format is a combination of both of the two basic formats; vector and raster format. Examples of meta images are scanned photos in which you want to include describing text/numbers, graphics (eg arrows) or both.

🗑
Disadvantages of Vector Format   are basically points connected by lines of various shapes, ... a disadvantage - it's just not something for which vector formats are well suited  
🗑
Vector File Formats   devices such as cameras and scanners produce essentially continuous-tone raster graphics that are impractical to convert into vectors, and so for this type of work, an image editor will operate on the pixels  
🗑
Clip Art   simple pictures and symbols made available for computer users to add to their documents.
