'''Vector graphics''' are [[w:computer graphics|computer graphics]] [[w:Image|images]] that are defined in terms of 2D points, which are connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes.<ref>"[https://vectr.com/tutorials/what-are-vector-graphics/ Tutorials - What Are Vector Graphics?]". Retrieved 2018-06-01.</ref> Each of these points has a definite position on the ''x-'' and ''y-''axis of the work plane and determines the direction of the [[w:Vector path|path]]; further, each path may have various properties including values for stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill.<ref>Arie Kaufman (1993).
