Vector graphic

Custom maps are often drawn in vector graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. Vector graphics consist of circles, polygons, lines or curves in vector form, i.e. not containing pixels or rasters. Vector graphics have the advantage of loss-free scalability, independent of print resolution. Vector graphics can easily be converted to PDFs or bitmap / pixel graphics.
