What is a vector?

A vector is usually a line, real or suggested, that draws the reader's attention to a specific image or part

155551 get?

A vector is a set of n numbers A_a, ..., A_n that transform according to the rule
A'_i = a_ij * A_j
where Einstein summation has been used.

Finally, someone dares to ask the question. Indeed, what the hell is a vector?

yes it goddamned is, we learnts its in engrish for the hsc (think of it as an aussie uni test)

it has many meanings in many contexts and ONE of the meanings in the use of analysis of pictures is what i stated above a line, real or suggested, that draws the reader's attention to a specific image or part

hey /w/, here's my theory:

- a vector (talking about math) can be resized multiple times and still stays the same if the proportion is the same.. so the vector (1|1) is the same as (4|4) or the vector (7|2) is the same as (21|6)
- the special ability of SVG (scalable vector graphics, cp wikipedia) is: theyre resizable as many times as you want without a loss of quality if you keep the proportion (normaly - if we talk about a wallpaper 4:3 or 16:9)


think that sounds convincing... but i don't really know, therefore here's some ecchi from ffxii (not vectored btw)!

Geez, sorry man, just asking.

>>155603

Does sound convincing, but thanks for the echii anyway. ^_~

From what I've seen in 4chan, vectors are apparently a lot of work. People claim to spend hours on the things, so getting a good idea of what they are would probably help us appreciate them a little more.

wahhh don't take any offence, i'm just stating one possible way to interpret a vector

As related to the images that are posted here :

Specifically, a vector is a pair of coordinates that define a point relative to an origin.

The long explanation on how this is used to make shapes and how these shapes can be layered to form images is better suited to a thin textbook than a post in /w/.

In terms of walls - a vector is anything (but usually a scan or character pic) that's been reproduced/traced using lines and shapes, as drawn with things like the pen tool in applications like illustrator.

It's done usually with the intent of enlarging a pic, or cleaning it, or possibly to correct things or remove text.

Vector has all sorts of meanings, though - type "vector definition" into google or wikipedia and it'll give you a bucket load.

hey mod, why did you delete the file? this was a wallpaper... 1600x1200 res!

I didn't see the pic in question, but if the 'ecchi' was NSFW, then it doesn't belong in /w/. It's a worksafe board y'see.
