What Does Graphics Mean?
In IT, the term graphics generally refers to images generated by a computer or similar tech device. In the most fundamental sense, graphics are images. Over time, there have been radical changes in computer graphics and the ways they are generated.
Techopedia Explains Graphics
A major difference between categories of graphics is raster graphics (or images that use bitmaps) versus newer vector graphics. Most types of computer graphics (or images) use bitmaps, where a single pixel or other unit corresponds to a memory bit. These images are limited in how they can be rescaled. In contrast, vector graphics are made up of scalable parts and provide more versatility.
