(The precise resolution of a raster graphic necessary for high-quality results depends on the viewing distance; e.g., a billboard may still appear to be of high quality even at low resolution if the viewing distance is great enough.)<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vector_graphics#cite_note-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we regard typographic characters as images, then the same considerations that we have made for graphics apply even to the composition of written text for printing (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Typesetting\">typesetting<\/a>).  Older character sets were stored as bitmaps.  Therefore, to achieve maximum print quality they had to be used at a given resolution only; these font formats are said to be non-scalable.  High-quality typography is nowadays based on character drawings (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Font\">fonts<\/a>) which are typically stored as vector graphics, and as such are scalable to any size.  Examples of these vector formats for characters are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Postscript_fonts\">Postscript fonts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TrueType_fonts\">TrueType fonts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Vector Graphics visit <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vector_graphics\">Wikipedia- Vector Graphics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vector art is ideal for printing.
