"Vektorisierung" is the process of converting a raster graphic into a vector graphic. Raster graphics consist of pixels and are suitable for display on screens or printing, but they lose quality when scaled or enlarged. Vector graphics, on the other hand, consist of mathematical formulas that describe lines, curves, and shapes and can be scaled infinitely without losing quality. Vectorization allows converting a raster graphic into a vector graphic, which is particularly useful for creating logos, illustrations, or graphics intended for use at various sizes.
Typical functions of software in the "Vectorization" domain include:
Import of raster graphics: The software allows users to import raster graphics into the program for vectorization.
Automatic vectorization: The software provides features for automatically converting raster graphics into vector graphics using algorithms and techniques such as tracing.
Manual vectorization: The software enables users to manually convert raster graphics into vector graphics by drawing or editing lines, curves, and shapes.
Editing of vector graphics: The software offers features for editing vector graphics, including changes to lines, curves, colors, and other properties.
Export of vector graphics: The software allows users to export the vectorized graphics in various formats for printing, web publishing, or sharing with others.
