<dd><a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics">vector graphics</a> use 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.</dd>
