+  raster graphics
+      Raster graphics, or bitmaps, represent an image as an array of pixels
+      which is resolution dependent. Raster graphics are generally most
+      practical for photo-realistic images, but do not easily without loss of
+      quality.
+
+  vector graphics
+      The use of geometrical primitives based upon mathematical equations to
+      represent images in computer graphics. Primitives can include points,
+      lines, curves, and shapes or polygons. Vector graphics are scalable,
+      which means that they can be resized without suffering from issues
+      related to inherent resolution like are seen in raster graphics. Vector
+      graphics are generally most practical for typesetting and graphic design
+      applications.
