could someone explain "vector"?
vector is one of the differences between for example
adobe's photoshop and illustrator.
Photoshop uses the pixels to zoom, scale, etc. It sees
objects simply as pixels in a bitmap.
Illustrator is a vector program so it calculates and uses
anchor points to zoom, scale, etc. so it is a lot more
precise.
try to scale in photoshop and try to scale a traced image
in illustrator. the illustrator one will be precise endlessly
while the photoshop one will be blurry if you zoom in too
far.
