I do not think that it is useful to include 'vector graphics' as a class of 'digital images'. People who work in digital image processing do not work with vector graphics. Algorithms that are said to apply to 'digital images' do not apply to vector graphics.

'vector graphics' can be a kind of 'graphics device', or a class of (2D) 'geometric models'. Some '2d computer graphics' algorithms are specific for vector graphics. But they are not 'digital images'.

Since when are raster graphics the only type of digital image? Are vector graphics not images? Yes they are. Are they no digital? I would think that they are digital. There are separate articles for raster and vector graphics, so this article should not be just about raster graphics. And, why are there not images on this page? Althepal 04:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, this is a glaring omission. I just finished cleaning up the intro and realised there was no mention of vector-based graphics, which is plain wrong for an article which by definition should overview both raster and vector graphics: either may be the basis for a digital image. I'm not so well up on vector graphics, so if you'd like to include something back in, I'll check out getting some appropriate images. mikaul^talk 12:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
