This process,Ĭalled interpolation, is what causes enlarged raster images to become blurred, or pixelated. The reason raster images are considered resolution-dependent is that once the image is created or scanned, anyĮnlargement of the image forces Illustrator to enlarge and average the existing color information in the document. Raster graphics, such as bitmaps and photographs, are images creating using individual pixels that identify one piece of color To reflect the new size, and since vector shapes are constructed of mathematical data instead of pixels, file sizes are extremely Vector graphics are created using mathematical shapes, not pixels, and that’s why vector shapes are considered resolution-independent.įor example, if you enlarge a vector image to 100 times its original size, Illustrator merely changes the mathematical formulas Illustrator is an application that gives you great control over vector graphics, which include vector shapes and vector objects. Rotate, scale (resize), reflect (mirror image), or shear (slant) an object. For example, you can select objects whoseĪttributes (including Appearance, Blending Modes, Fill & Stroke, Opacity, and Stroke Color) are similar to the current orĪfter you select one or more objects, you can move, align, group, and transform them. The Select menu providesĪ variety of powerful selection commands for you to use in a document or artboard.
In addition to these tools, you can also use the Select menu. The Selection tool allows you to select entire objects, while the Direct Selection toolĪllows you to select paths and segments. The two main selection tools are the Selection
Rounded rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, flares, lines, arcs, spirals, rectangle grids, and polar (circular) grids.Īfter you draw an object, you can use Illustrator selection tools to modify it. Illustrator provides drawing tools on the Tools panel that you can use to create a variety of shapes, including rectangles, The start and end points for a line segment is known as an anchor point, which you can drag to change and move. A path is made up of one or more curved or straight When you draw a vector object, you create one or more lines called a path. Vector graphics are created using mathematical shapes, not pixels, and that’s why vector shapes are considered resolution-independent.
