Comparison of vector graphics editorsA number of vector graphics editors exist for various platforms. Potential users of these editors will make a comparison of vector graphics editors based on factors such as the availability for the user's platform, the software license, the feature set, the merits of the user interface (UI) and the focus of the program. Some programs are more suitable for artistic work while others are better for technical drawings. Another important factor is the application's support of various vector and bitmap image formats for import and export.
Image tracingIn computer graphics, image tracing, raster-to-vector conversion or raster vectorization is the conversion of raster graphics into vector graphics. An image does not have any structure: it is just a collection of marks on paper, grains in film, or pixels in a bitmap. While such an image is useful, it has some limits. If the image is magnified enough, its artifacts appear. The halftone dots, film grains, and pixels become apparent. Images of sharp edges become fuzzy or jagged. See, for example, pixelation.
YUV[[Fichier:Yuv.png|thumb|Exemple d'une plage U-V, où Y' = 0,5, représenté à l'intérieur de la gamme de couleurs R'G'B' ; en noir et blanc, seule Y est utilisée, toutes ces couleurs rendent donc le même gris.]] thumb|Décomposition d'une image en Y'UV. Le modèle YUV ou plus précisément Y'UV''' définit un espace colorimétrique en trois composantes. La première, Y', représente la luma'' (à ne pas confondre avec la luminance relative notée Y, le symbole prime de Y' indiquant une correction de gamma) et les deux autres, U et V, représentent la chrominance.
