Definition
Vector graphics are composed by layering graphic primitives whose position and/or shape is determined from arbitrarily transformable vector data:
Vector graphic editors interactively create and manipulate these layers. All have a way to choose and change the state used to render the graphic:
and change the size (scaling), location (translation), and orientation (rotation) of the graphic as well. Some support gradient-fills, path-alignment, alpha-transparency, and anti-aliasing.Libraries/Frameworks
Vector graphic libraries are for rendering these graphic primitives. Vector graphic frameworks are partial applications one can use to construct custom interfaces with embedded vector graphic capability.
NOTE: the Most Active and Top Downloads boxes are generated from a combination of featured projects and the Trove category below. Use these statistics with caution, in that some projects (like XFree86) do not use all the available services from which the metrics are computed and/or maintain alternate download facilties. Statistics look alive again, but unstable March 1st, 2002
If your project is based on vector-graphics but not an editor, please feel free to register in the above trove entry regardless, or send e-mail to us to get considered for a featured project.
