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 various attributes, including such values as stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill.
Vector graphic may refer to:
- Vector Graphic, a computer company
- Vector graphics, a form of computer graphics
- Vektor Grafix, UK based computer game development company
